U-S Senator Ron Johnson and five Republican state lawmakers will visit Fort McCoy today (Wednesday) to hear about plans for housing Afghan refugees.
Two military veterans who served in Afghanistan will accompany the politicians. A briefing by the 88th Readiness Division is expected.
Fort McCoy officials say Afghans with special immigrant visa applicants, their families, and other people at risk began arriving at Volk Field Sunday.
So far, it’s not clear how many refugees the military installation will host – or how long they will stay.
