CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports the Pentagon spent the weekend notifying the soldiers who appeared on the list, and urged city police departments and military police to increase patrol in the neighborhoods where the targeted live.

The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) published the list days ago, a report that contained names, photos, and home addresses of U.S. Armed Forces personnel, causing alarm in cities potentially at high-risk.

According to the publication, ISIS urges followers and sympathizers in the U.S. to kill the servicemen. Specific personnel on the list are largely from the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy - branches of the country's military that have conducted massive air strikes against ISIS.

The United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) is seriously gonna have to rethink its massive #Jobs4Jihadis 'resettlement' placement program. http://bit.ly/20rrHRu Already a growing list of governors are having some qualms about it....including one from a neighboring state:

In the wake of the Paris attacks, Gov. Bruce Rauner on Monday said Illinois will “temporarily suspend” accepting new Syrian refugees, putting him at odds with President Barack Obama.

Pence: Indiana won't accept refugees until safety assured


46 minutes ago • Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS | Gov. Mike Pence says he is telling all state agencies to suspend the resettlement of additional Syrian refugees in Indiana following the deadly attacks in Paris.

Pence issued a statement Monday saying he was putting all resettlements on hold until assurances from the federal government that proper security measures have been met. He says Indiana has a long tradition of opening its arms and homes to refugees, but as governor it's his first responsibility to ensure the safety and security of Indiana residents.

He says the policy will remain in effect until the state of Indiana receives assurances from the federal government that proper security measures are in place.

Officials say Friday's gun and bomb attacks by terrorists killed more than 120 people.

Oh no, not another dunes park closure.

A cascade of Republicans on Monday implored the Obama administration to scrap plans to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees in the United States next year, saying they pose an unacceptable security risk in the wake of last week’s terrorist attacks in Paris.

And, in a dramatic twist, the sudden standoff is raising the possibility of a government shutdown next month.

Why are they so mad at us? The Islamic Center of Michigan City is the first Islamic mosque in the state.

Gov. Pence faces lawsuit for blocking Syrian refugees

The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS | A lawsuit is challenging the Indiana governor's decision to stop state agencies from helping resettle Syrian refugees, saying the action wrongly targets the refugees based on their nationality.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana filed the federal lawsuit Monday night on behalf of Indianapolis-based nonprofit Exodus Refugee Immigration. It accuses Gov. Mike Pence of violating the U.S. Constitution's Equal Protection Clause and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by accepting refugees from other countries but not from Syria.

The lawsuit comes about a week after the first-term Republican governor objected to plans for refugees to arrive in Indiana following the Nov. 13 deadly attacks in Paris. Five days after the attacks, a family that fled war-torn Syria was diverted from Indianapolis to Connecticut when Pence ordered state agencies to halt resettlement activities.

"There is no border around the state of Indiana that prevents people from entering our state who may move freely within the United States," ACLU of Indiana legal director Ken Falk said in a statement. "Decisions concerning immigration and refugee resettlement are exclusively the province of the federal government, and attempts to pre-empt that authority violate both equal protection and civil rights laws and intrude on authority that is exclusively federal."

Officials from Pence's office didn't immediately reply Tuesday to a request for comment from The Associated Press.

Pence said last week he was "deeply moved" by the refugees' plight but was concerned about militants possibly infiltrating the United States through the refugee program.

"We're very confident that we have the legal authority to suspend the resettlement program relative to Syrian refugees in the state of Indiana and I think it is the proper course," he said.

More than half of the states in the U.S., most, like Indiana, with Republican governors, have objected to the arrival of the Syrian immigrants without assurances of proper security measures in place.

But individual states do not have the legal authority to block refugee placement. The Refugee Act of 1980 dictates that refugee resettlement is managed by the federal government, which consults with state refugee coordinators and the nine refugee resettlement agencies that have contracts with the government, but that consultation is largely to ensure the refugees are settled in cities with adequate jobs, housing and social services.

The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration sent letters last week to Exodus Refugee Immigration and Catholic Charities Indianapolis saying plans to accept two Syrian families should be halted.

Carleen Miller, Exodus Refugee's executive director, said she doesn't believe the state has the power to stop the resettlements but thought she had no choice last week but to find another place for the Syrian refugee family because of their imminent arrival.

Exodus has settled 892 refugees, including some from Syria, in the past fiscal year in Indiana, according to the ACLU. The group is projected to settle about the same number during 2016, including 19 Syrians approved for refugee status by the federal government and are expected to arrive in the next few weeks or months, the ACLU said.

Exodus receives federal money through the state's Office of Refugee Programs to assist in resettlement of federally approved and screened refugees. The money is used to assist with employment training, English language education and other services, according to the ACLU.

FWIW, Michigan City is not on a kill list. A military person from Michigan City is on the list. There is no threat against City.

Wouldn't surprise me at all, if the MCPD issued a city wide lock down, if heaven forbid....this should actually happen.

Wonder why the link is an article from March of 2015? National news takes a year to find Michigan City, ISIS won't have a clue how to find us. Unless they get a direct flight to Michigan City International Airport.
