Can’t think of why it wouldn’t be: its meaning is clear and it’s the regular form of the past tense of the verb definition of “refugee” and it’s gaining in currency, though perhaps it should echo the irregular past tense of oversee and become refugaw. In either case, kindly take it up with the MLA rather than here.
In play:
Berger’s much later sequel, The Return of Little Big Man, follows Jack Crabbe’s adventures with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show’s, Dodge City (where he witnesses the incident at the OK Corral [sad sideplot there]), and socializes with Custer’s charming young widow, Libby Bacon Custer.
The entire gunfight at the OK Corral lasted approximately 30 seconds. The following day, the headline in the ‘Tombstone Epitaph’ newspaper read, “Three Men Hurled into Eternity in the Duration of a Moment.” The cowboys’ supporters insisted their men had been killed in cold blood. The Earps and Holliday stood trial for murder, but were cleared.
The Presidio, formerly a military base in San Francisco, is now a park and a site for several businesses, including Lucasfilm and the George Lucas Educational Foundation.
Although American Graffiti is set in 1962 Modesto, California, George Lucas believed the city had changed too much in 10 years and initially chose San Rafael as the primary shooting location, but later filmed most of the movie in Petaluma, a similarly small town approximately 20 miles north of San Rafael.
Wayne Simpson pitched in the 1970s for the Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals, Philadelphia Phillies, and California Angels. Hank Aaron got his 3,000th career hit off Simpson.
ETA: Ninja’d by Annie’s 0806 edit but my entry still works: California.
O J Simpson is now seeking a new trial in his conviction for armed robbery and kidnapping, claiming his attorney John Galanter knew ahead of time about Simpson’s plan to retrieve what he thought were personal mementoes, and that the lawyer met Simpson in Las Vegas to discuss the plan the night before the athlete and five other men confronted two sports memorabilia dealers and a middleman in a casino hotel room in September 2007.
The NFL’s 1973 Buffalo Bills’s roster included such standouts as QB Joe Ferguson, FB Jim Braxton, WR Bob Chandler, OLs Reggie McKenzie and Joe DeLamielleure, and LBs Merv Krakau and Rick Kingrea. It also included an exciting running back, one of the greatest I’d ever seen, but since he’s a murderer his name won’t be included in this post.
ETA: Ninja’d by Sam, so I’ll add that the 1973 Buffalo Bills played all of their 14 regular season games in the lower 48 US states.
New York Jets running back Bruce Harper is founder and director of the non-for-profit organization Heroes & Cool Kids.

Well, you used it here, so I’m responding to it here. FWIW, I couldn’t find “refugeed” in any of these resources:

What would you propose as the past tense of the verb “to refugee”, or do you think it should not have one, and if so, why shouldn’t it?
In play:
In West Side Story the street gangs are the Jets (English speaking NYC natives who include the Romeo character Tony) and the Sharks (the Puerto Ricans, who include Juliet character Maria).
Introduced on the 1968 RIAA Certified Gold album Dionne Warwick in Valley of the Dolls, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose” was issued as the follow-up single to the double-sided hit “(Theme from) Valley of the Dolls”/ “I Say a Little Prayer” in April 1968 and became Warwick’s third consecutive Top Ten song, punctuating the most successful period of Warwick’s recording career.
On the advice of her numerologist, Dionne Warwick added an “e” to her last name and spelled it that way professionally before reverting back to her original spelling.
Warwick, Rhode Island is the city where Rhode Island’s main airport, TF Green Airport, is located. The airport is named after former Rhode Island Governor and US Senator Theodore Francis Green.
In Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the characters Snug, Francis Flute, Tom Snout, Robin Starveling, Nick Bottom and Peter Quince are known collectively as The Rude Mechanicals.
Centuries before Viktor/Viktoria or Victor/Victoria, the Elizabethan era young male actors who portrayed Rosalind in As You Like It, Julia in Two Gentlemen of Verona, Portia in Merchant of Venice, and Viola in Twelfth Night (among other characters) were men portraying women portraying men. The “meta” sense of gender disguise was part of the comedy to theater goers, and probably quite a challenge to the actors.
