And so it begins.


Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal (who is also running for the US presidential elections in 2016) has issued an executive order on Monday to prevent Syrian refugees from being resettled in the state.  @BobbyJindal tweeted: I just signed an Executive Order instructing state agencies to take all available steps to stop the relocation of Syrian refugees to LA."


He cited Friday's terrorist attacks that killed 129 people in Paris and injured hundreds more. Jindal, who is running as a right-wing candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, cited a section of the Louisiana Constitution that says "during times of emergency ... the governor has emergency powers to protect the citizens and property of the state of Louisiana."


He also sent a letter Saturday to demand information from the Obama administration about Syrian refugees being placed in Louisiana. The Islamic State group, which controls parts of Syria and Iraq, has claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks.
