A city council meeting in Alabama was cut short after multiple residents voiced concerns about an influx of immigrants into the area.
“The Sylacauga council meeting ended abruptly Thursday night after council president Tiffany Nix shut down public comment after citizens voiced concern with a recent influx of Haitian migrants,” 1819 News reports.
“I’m going to cut it off,” Nix said.
“We have no reason to launch an investigation or to treat people differently because of how they look,” she continued.

1819 News reports:
Over 50 migrants were brought to the city, and residents want to know how they got there and why. With no answers provided by the federal government, some city council members feel their hands are tied.
ADVERTISEMENTResident Mary Deason asked the council why they are not asking questions and finding out more if immigrants are being bussed into town. Nix responded by asking those in the council chambers if they had seen any buses.
Nix said she welcomes anyone in town stimulating the local economy, paying bills and shopping locally.
“I wasn’t going to comment on this, but I am now because I feel like I need to,” Nix said. “I’m going to welcome anybody to Sylacauga that wants to come to Sylacauga.”
She said as long as no one is breaking the law, she doesn’t see a problem with them being in Sylacauga.
Deason left the podium after stating, “In being here tonight and watching the city council meeting, I see why nothing gets done in this town. It’s very clear.”
“Our community has a right to information on resettled immigrants. We are DEMANDING answers!” Alabama state Rep. Ben Robbins said.
“As the Secretary of Homeland Security, you are charged with overseeing immigration enforcement and refugee settlement. Recently, my District (Alabama State House District 33) has seen an influx of Haitian immigrants. You and your agency have failed in your responsibility to notify our community of the relocation of refugees, provide any information to local leaders, or answer questions,” Robbins wrote in a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
“Your failure to inform our rural community before dropping off immigrants has created panic and confusion. Residents are seeking answers to basic questions, such as why did the immigrants appear in Sylacauga, Alabama, how many immigrants are here, where are the immigrants working and where are they living within the community. Due to your agency’s ineptitude to relay any information, local leaders are helpless. These inefficient policies have caused fear, which threatens the peace and tranquility of our small town,” he continued.
AL.com reports:
Councilman Ashton Fowler said the first he was aware of immigrants in Sylacauga was when he saw them at church. He knows people are concerned, but immigrants can’t be watched as though they have committed a criminal act.
“We found out when everybody found out,” Fowler said.
“The first time I saw them, they came in our church. They wanted to come to Sunday School and church with us. That’s the first time I knew they were in town, and then there was three, then six, then eight. The ones at church with me are great people. They wanted to come to church, haven’t asked for a thing, worship and go home.”
Another resident asked why council members had not attempted to learn where immigrant workers are coming from on buses. Nix asked if anyone had actually seen anyone bused into town. From a video of the meeting, it did not appear anyone said they had.
“I also went by where they’re living, some of them, and they’re just sitting around there, not working,” the resident asked. “They supposedly came here to work.” Someone pointed out people work night shifts.

Woman Arrested and Kicked Out of City Council Meeting For Expressing Her First Amendment Rights
Our First Amendment is under attack unlike anything I have seen before.
In fact, it’s not just “our” First Amendment, but Free Speech all around the world.
In Britain, they now arrest you and throw you in prison for multiple years for posting memes online….
France just arrested the founder of Telegram, for his refusal to censor content.
The EU is working hard to get Elon Musk extradited to Europe to face a similar fate.
Multiple South American countries are attacking Twitter for its refusal to follow their censorship requests….
Tim Walz openly said earlier today he does not believe Free Speech is guaranteed (he hasn’t read the First Amendment):
And now this….
Even local City Council meetings are not immune and are becoming very hostile places.
We’ve covered a bunch of these over the past few years and here’s the latest one.
Citizens are pissed off and they’re also studying up on their rights and they’re showing up armed (with knowledge) at their local City Council meetings and they’re doing a lot of damage (with the truth).
So City Councils and Mayors are adopting rules to limit the free speech of anyone who wants to speak at their meetings in the public forum portion of the meeting.
This next one is pretty hilarious (and maddening).
These clowns literally adopted a rule that says you can’t criticize anyone on City Staff.
Nice try dorks, but this woman is 100% right when she schools you on the First Amendment, saying that violates her First Amendment rights.
Take a look:
Skip Hall, the Mayor of Surprise, Arizona had a constituent arrested at a city council meeting for criticizing the city and expressing her first amendment rights.
Free speech is under attack everywhere. You must speak up now or you can be next.

I hope she gets a great lawyer (perhaps the ACLU could do some good for once and represent her) and I hope she sues this Clown-Show City Council for trampling all over her rights of Free Speech.
Nowhere is Free Speech MORE important and MORE protected than when using it to criticize your elected officials.
This woman was respectful, calm, non-violent….she was doing everything right.
At least that’s my take, what do you think?
We all need to speak up and fight back.
Like this girl did:
Brave Girl Makes Woke School Board PANIC With Genius Stunt: ‘This Is America!’
This girl is going places!
Thank you so much to a friend who sent me this link, I thought it was so good I wanted to share with all of you.
This is a short clip of a girl who has obviously been raised by great parents and who knows her Constitution and she knows how to use it!
Watch as she absolutely outclasses an entire school board and has the entire crowd rooting her on.
Every single member of this School Board should resign in shame from what I’ve seen.
Take a look:

page 21 which clearly states there shall be no rules abridging freedom of speech Additionally the people have the right to air grievances to the government government so to clarify this to you board members a board of education is the governing
body of a school district and therefore we have the constitutional right to speak about whatever grievances we have you can’t limit the content or
direct who we can or cannot talk about if you don’t want to be embarrassed or be in the spotlight then resign from
this board if you don’t want your family members to be a topic then they should refrain from making statements on social media in regards to people who speak at these meetings if you don’t want people to refer to you as groomers and pedophiles then follow state and federal laws and remove the sexually graphic books from your school
libraries appeasing immorality by claiming acceptance and inclusion is not a valid argument claiming the books can
be obtained online no it is the First Amendment right and you have taken my time so I reclaim that time back let me iclaim my time back I am going to continue not a valid argument claiming
