PORTLAND, MAINE -- 11/23/16 -- Nadir Alzoubi uses a translation app on his phone to communicate with a reporter at a coffee shop in Portland last month. Alzoubi and his family, including his wife, Jamila and their four children, were among the first Syrian refugees resettled in Maine since the outbreak of the county’s civil war. Troy R. Bennett | BDN
