The resettlement of Hmong refugees to the United States has been temporarily put on hold. US State Department officials have halted the program because they've found a handful of active cases of tuberculosis among newly-resettled Hmong refugees, including one in Minnesota. State health officials are also investigating four other suspected cases of TB. Although tuberculosis is an infectious disease, state epidemiologist Dr. Harry Hull says there's no reason to fear an outbreak.
