Washington A North Dakota county is expected to debate Monday whether new refugees will be allowed to settle there under provisions set out by an executive order President Donald Trump signed in September.

A Lutheran group asked Burleigh County, the home of the state capital of Bismarck and has a population of more than 95,000, earlier this month to agree to allow about 25 refugees to settle in the area.
