AL.com: Alabama's new governor has dropped the appeal of the state's unsuccessful lawsuit against the federal government over refugee placement.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals this month dismissed the appeal at the request of Gov. Kay Ivey.
Alabama cited President Donald Trump's attempted immigration actions as the reason for dropping the appeal. They wrote that Trump's attempted executive order on immigration satisfied their concerns about consulting states. A federal judge has put Trump's order on hold.
