ST. PAUL, Minn. — Governor Tim Walz pledged the state’s support for programs to resettle Afghan refugees as they begin arriving in the massive airlift that began this week. In a letter to President Biden, Walz noted that Minnesota has a tradition of helping refugees rebuild their lives and become part of the community. “Minnesota is already home to some of the largest Hmong, Somali and Liberian communities in the U.S., as well as a small Afghan community,” Walz said.
