The Louisiana state police have played down Governor Bobby Jindal’s claim that he has ordered them to “track” Syrian refugees in his state.
Asked if it was true the state police would be tracking Syrian refugees in the state, Doug Cain, spokesman for the state police, said: “No, no.”
He added: “We are just keeping an open line of communication with federal authorities to make sure everyone is safely settled. We’re not going to be tracking people, following people, anything like that.”
In an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday to announce the suspension of his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, Jindal had said: “I issued an executive order telling my agencies to do everything we can. We don’t want these refugees in our state. I’ve ordered the state police to track the ones that are already in Louisiana.”
