Rep. Keith Ellison
With a new year on the doorstep, reports say Minnesota will likely accept more refugees than any other year to date. Part of the increase comes from an additional 15-thousand Middle East refugees expected to move to the U-S next year. Resettlement groups say the people will be a mix of nationalities. On Tuesday, Fifth-District Congressman Keith Ellison joined religious leaders at a Muslim community center in Des Moines, Iowa, calling for a rebirth of religious tolerance in America.
