Happening today, a Family Moving to new jersey will be thrust into a national debate. Theyre refugees from syria. Theyll be settling in paterson, new jersey. Today in new yorks Tracie Strahan is there. Controversial because of remarks governor christie made about admitting Syrian Refugees into new jersey. Reporter exactly, michael. He once said he wouldnt allow a 5yearold syrian or fon phan to settle in new jersey. Today, a family of seven will do so. This is all happening thanks tos a resolution adopted by the Passaic County freeholders last week. This, despite governor christie writing a letter to the president , advising him that he would tell state agencies not to help the federal government relocate Syrian Refugees. The governor called for increased u. S. Security in the aftermath of the terror attacks in paris. Local lawmakers, however, say the governors views dont reflect the rest of the state. What we are seeing is that new jersey residents across the state, whether theyre in Passaic County, in southern jersey, or northern jersey, disagree with the governor on this decision. Religious profiling was unconstitutional before the paris attacks, and its unconstitutional after the paris attacks. Thats what the people of new jersey are saying. Reporter more than 7 million syrians have been displaced by the civil war there.

He is, as you mentioned, the first of these six baltimore Police Officers going on trial for charges related to the death of 25yearold freddie gray. His trial could really serve as a bell weather to attorneys on either side of this case. Gray, of course, the 25yearold black man who died of apparent spinal injuries about a week after an arrest on a minor charge by baltimore Police Officers. Porter was involved in grays arrest after he had already been transported part of the way to the Police Station in a police van. Prosecutors say that gray told porter twice that he needed a medic, but they never called one. The proceedings here could highlight tensions between black communities and Law Enforcement in a city that has worked very hard to rebuild after unrest earlier this year. Clearly, its an emotionally charged climate to try this case in right now, given whats happened both locally and nationally. Of course, hes speaking about the protests that were sparked locally and nationally against police brutality. The jurors in this case will not be sequestered. But they will be anonymous. Porter, a 25yearold africanamerican man, has been with the Baltimore Police Department Since 2012.
