Equal Justice Under Law

Equal Justice Under Law is arguing defendants banish from the city those who are too poor to live in homes worth $7 ,500 or more.

In September of 2016, the City of McCrory Arkansas passed a Trailer-Banishment Ordinance, forbidding anyone within the city limits from residing in a mobile home or trailer worth less than $7,500. Those whose homes do not qualify must either move outside McCrory or pay fines of up to $500 per day.
