IRC event brings community together for refugees
Placeholder Image
Following questions from the community regarding President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting travel into the United States, the International Rescue Committee office in Turlock held an educational meeting Tuesday evening to inform the public on what the order means for their work and how they plan to move forward. City leaders and residents joined IRC staff and volunteers at Monte Vista Chapel for the event, which informed attendees about the executive order specifically and how it will affect the committee’s goal of helping refugees resettle in Turlock. Signed on Jan. 27, the executive order suspended travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries and limited the nation’s refugee program.
