TUNICA, Miss. (AP) — Local officials won’t support a proposal to house unaccompanied migrant children at two former casino hotels in northwest Mississippi.
The Tunica County Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 on Thursday against issuing a letter of support after opposition from Mississippi’s Republican state officials and the local sheriff, local news outlets reported.
Shantrell Nicks is an attorney working for a company called Rapid Deployment, which wants to reuse the vacant hotels. She said during the meeting a letter of support from the county would have been an important part of the company’s proposal to the federal government. WHBQ-TV reported that proposal is due Monday, although it’s unclear what happens now.
Nicks told people attending the meeting that the facility would hold up to 250 children aged 17 and younger, not the 2,000 previously discussed, WREG-TV reported.
