These funds. to be allocated to 20 States and the District of Columbia. would have lapsed yesterday because they were not expended before the end of the fiscal year. But a California Federal judge imposed a temporary injunction against OMB preventing the money from reverting to the Federal Treasury. Unfortunately. despite congressional intent. a GAO ruling. and a Federal judges injunction. OMB still refuses to release the $11.5 million in refugee assistance owed to the States. Its my hope OMB will cease its delaying tactics and meet its Federal obligation to reimburse our State and local governments for the costs they have incurred due to the influx of refugees to our Nation.
