City of Reno officials are now saying they did not support an application to make Reno a “Refugee city,” to take Syrian refugees. According to a statement, Reno officials became aware of an application the Northern Nevada International Center submitted to U.S. State Department to become a refugee city, with stated support from the City of Reno.  But according to the city, “Neither the Mayor nor the City Manager’s offices approved any statement and attribute the mistake to a staff error.” The city’s latest statement says “In the wake of the horrific attacks in Paris, the City of Reno continues to follow the Syrian refugee crisis and remains sensitive to the situation.”
