Mayor Curry talks Jaguars game security and Syrian refugees

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- For the first time, Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry is weighing in on the debate surrounding bringing Syrian refugees to Florida.

Curry says in the wake of the Paris attacks, he's been briefed by law enforcement every day and says he's been told Thursday's game is not a target.
