‘Not a conspiracy’: Lawmakers discuss plans to house undocumented minors at Tunica hotel
SUMMARY: The vacant Harrah's Hotel Complex in Tunica, Mississippi, may become an influx care facility for undocumented minors under the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement. Up to 2,000 minors could be housed, according to state lawmakers, with speculation involving Democratic Congressman Bennie Thompson's office. Tunica County Board of Supervisors attorney John Perry confirmed discussions with potential buyers for such a purpose. However, local officials and law enforcement expressed concerns over resource adequacy and public safety. The federal government would pay approximately $150 per minor nightly. No formal plans have been released, and any facility will adhere to strict federal regulations.
