Learn more about the 100-year history of the International Institute of Minnesota and its present and future challenges in a StarTribune story, Minnesota refugee aid center’s future in flux at 100.

The piece offers a look at the organization’s evolution, which reads like a laundry list of the world’s turmoil. Founded to assist European refugees from World War I, the Institute’s clientele became persecuted Japanese Americans during World War II, Hmong refugees after the collapse of the Vietnam conflict, Somalis following unrest in East Africa, and more recently Karen from Myanmar.

The story sketches out the effect of new restrictions on refugee entry to the US imposed by the Trump administration, both for refugees themselves and the organizations that serve them, plus the prospect of increased fees for immigrants applying for citizenship.
