The refugee resettlement group Catholic Charities of Baton Rouge, Louisiana scrambled today amid reports a Syrian refugee assisted by the organization in the state went missing.

The American Mirror, citing WBRZ, reported earlier today that the refugee was settled in Baton Rouge, but according to the agency, “the immigrant left for another state after a couple of days, and they don’t know where the refugee went since they don’t track them.”

“We’re at the receiving end,” Chad Aguillard, executive director of Catholic Charities, said. “We receive them, we welcome them into our community and help them resettle. There has been a lot of commotion and fear with Syrians. The fear is justified, but we have to check that against reality.”

Now, the agency has located the refugee — in Washington, D.C.

WBRZ reports:

The group said that refugee left Baton Rouge to meet family in Washington D.C., and it is not their policy to track them after that.

Major Doug Cain of the Louisiana State Police issued a statement after the revelation and was harshly critical of the Obama administration:

“Louisiana State Police contacted the charity organized that originally resettled the Syrian refugee in Baton Rouge and were told that the individual has been settled with a family out of state. According to the charity, the individual is not missing, but has been resettled outside of Louisiana. It is unfortunate and potentially dangerous that the federal government will not work with state authorities and we have to hear reports of refugee resettlement from the media. Governor Jindal has demanded that President Obama give state authorities more information on this program and has directed the State Police and state agencies to use all available measures to prevent the resettlement of refugees in Louisiana.”

WBRZ claims the agency’s phone has been ringing all day and has received threats over the news.
