FORT MCCOY, WI (WHBL) – More Afghan refugees are coming to Wisconsin than first thought. The Pentagon on Thursday said troops are expanding the facilities at Fort McCoy to accommodate 13 thousand refugees.
Governor Evers originally said Wisconsin would get anywhere between ‘a few hundred’ and maybe ‘two thousand’ refugees. No one is saying how many Afghans have already arrived at the fort, or when the next round of refugees will arrive.
The governor has also been silent about where the refugees will go when they are allowed to leave Fort McCoy.
