MANASSAS, Va. (AP) - Prince William County activists say they want the board of supervisors to explain their appointment of an illegal immigration critic to a panel on human services.
County supervisors voted 5-3 in a closed session to appoint Robert Duecaster to the human services task force, which establishes funding and partnerships to help families in crisis. Duecaster is the secretary of the anti-illegal immigration group Help Save Manassas.
The appointment was first reported last week by The (Washington) Examiner newspaper.
Prince William County has gained national attention over the last year for its crackdown on illegal immigration.
Nearly 70 people have signed an online petition asking supervisors for an explanation. Several are expected to attend a county board of supervisors meeting Tuesday.
