Speakers included the Oklahoma Council on American Islamic Relations, or CAIR. They laid out what could be done to make conditions better for the families looking to start a new life in the U.S.
“And we think some commonplace policies at the state level could alleviate these concerns,” said Veronica Laizure, with CAIR-Oklahoma.

Ensuring housing that is found is both affordable and safe
Streamlining the process to provide refugees with official licenses and identification
