Wyoming is the only state in the nation where the federal government does not annually resettle refugees. That is mostly because none of the nine taxpayer-funded refugee contractors have offices in the state. In a piece titled "One state has never taken in refugees. Will it welcome Afghans?," the Post explores a proposal by a local Episcopal church in Casper, Wyoming, to take in Afghans. The Post interviewed a series of individuals for the piece, including those who said Afghan resettlement in Wyoming could "help with diversification" and break from their "conservative beliefs." The Post reported: Whether that will happen, or even be possible, in this deeply conservative Western state remains in question.
