Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris is under intense fire after declaring the city should give homeless people “all the fentanyl they want” — a shocking statement made during a public council meeting that has sparked outrage and a growing recall effort.
Doubling down in a TV interview, Parris claimed he was targeting “unhoused criminals,” blaming them for violent crimes without evidence and insisting his words weren’t meant to be taken literally.
Critics say the longtime mayor’s remarks are dangerous and inhumane, fueling demands for his removal as his term stretches to 2028.
