Lancaster Mayor Rex Parris is a controversial figure in California's political scene. Known for being outspoken, Parris is now under fire after the resurfacing of a February city council meeting video in which he suggests giving homeless people "free fentanyl" to end the city's homelessness crisis.
"I want to give them all the fentanyl they want. That is what I want to do," Parris said, as he was being questioned about his proposal of "enclosing all homeless people in one territory."
