The top local stories this afternoon from KERA News:
President Donald Trump’s executive order includes a 120-day suspension of the U.S. refugee program. That has forced groups that help resettle refugees to scramble, as many as 20 refugees are scheduled to arrive this week in North Texas. As KERA’s Stella Chavez reports, advocates say they’re not sure how the ban may affect those refugees.
Other stories this afternoon:

Homeless encampments have been shuttered, agencies have been scrambling to find housing for people, and individuals are stepping up to help.
