The Twin Falls center has faced increased opposition from a local group hoping to shutter the center through a ballot initiative.
The Committee to End the CSI Refugee Center is also hoping to recruit candidates to run for the community college's board of trustees to get enough voting members to phase out the center.
The Twin Falls center has been open for 30 years relocating people all over the world.
