Anger is mounting in Lancaster, California, where residents are rallying to remove their longtime mayor following his controversial proposal to give free fentanyl to homeless people as a solution to the city's crisis.
Rex Parris, who has served as Lancaster's mayor since 2008, made the incendiary remarks during a heated city council meeting in February. When questioned about his plan to relocate the city's homeless population to an abandoned golf course, Parris offered a blunt response.
