Mayor Jones Defends St. Louis Immigration Plan Against St. Charles County Opposition

St. Louis City Mayor Tishaura Jones expressed excitement for Latino migrants to come to St. Louis, despite a resolution introduced by St. Charles County to block migrants from moving to the region. The resolution, which was tabled, has been criticized as racist by the Hispanic Leaders Group of St. Louis. Mayor Jones suggested that if St. Charles County does not want to welcome the migrants, they can come to St. Louis instead. St. Charles County Executive Steve Ehlmann disagreed with the resolution and stated that he was not consulted about it.

"St. Louis Mayor Proposes Strict Gun Ban to Curb Violence"

St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones has proposed legislation that would ban "military-grade weapons" and prohibit "insurrectionists" and those convicted of hate crimes from possessing firearms. The specific details of the measure have not been released yet. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has warned that such a law would violate the state constitution and has vowed to resist any infringement on the right to bear arms. St. Louis has been grappling with high homicide rates and has been unsuccessful in persuading the Republican-led Legislature to enact stricter gun laws. The state currently has lenient gun laws, including allowing concealed carry without a background check or permit.
