Rusk County passes resolution to not educate, house or give medical care to illegals

In neighboring Rusk County there’s a first for an East Texas county. The commissioners’ court has passed an immigration resolution against housing people crossing the border illegally.

 

The commissioners decided the county will also not educate or allow those individuals who illegally crossed the border to receive medical care within Rusk County.

 

The resolution is not a law.

 

Supporters and the opposition acknowledge the federal government has not contacted any East Texas counties about housing people who have illegally crossed the border. 

 

Center Broadcasting attempted to reach out to Shelby County Judge Rick Campbell to see if the Shelby County Commissioners’ Court had thoughts of considering a similar resolution, but he was unavailable for comment.
