Southern California Mayor Faces Backlash for Controversial Remarks on Homelessness

A Southern California mayor is facing criticism for his comments on addressing the homeless population in his city. Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris sparked outrage during a city council meeting when he suggested giving homeless individuals “all the fentanyl they want” and called for a federal “purge.”

Parris made the shocking remarks in response to concerns about the city’s approach to the homeless crisis, including plans to house the unhoused at an abandoned golf course near a residential area.

Despite the backlash, Parris defended his statements, stating that he was referring to homeless individuals who are involved in criminal activities and are resistant to help. He emphasized the need to address the criminal element within the homeless population.

While Parris did not express any regrets about his comments, he clarified that he did not expect them to be taken literally. He also highlighted the availability of fentanyl on the streets, suggesting that providing it for free would not make a significant difference.

In addition to his controversial fentanyl remarks, Parris called for a federal “purge” of the homeless population and expressed his frustration with the situation in Lancaster. He emphasized the need to protect the city’s residents and proposed more innovative solutions to address homelessness.

Political opponents, including Johnathon Ervin, have criticized Parris and launched a recall campaign against him. Ervin, who ran against Parris in the mayoral election, deemed the mayor unfit for public office due to his comments on homelessness.

As the recall petition gains traction, Parris’s future as mayor remains uncertain. Despite the controversy, Parris’s term is set to expire in April 2028.
