Alabama City Council Shuts Down Meeting Over Heated Migrant Debate

Sylacauga residents' concerns about Haitian migrants lead to abrupt adjournment by council president Tiffany Nix.

Sylacauga City Council President Tiffany Nix ended a meeting early after residents questioned the arrival of Haitian migrants.
Residents alleged that the migrants, who were supposed to work, were seen idling, prompting concerns.
Nix defended the migrants, stating they should be welcomed if they are not breaking any laws.
Critics labeled Nix's actions as 'totalitarian' and 'un-American,' arguing it violated free speech and public law.
Mayor Jim Heigl previously clarified that Sylacauga is not a sanctuary city and urged residents to show hospitality to the new arrivals.
