 Happy Sunday, Eureka County!

This week, ECSO has received two  complaints about people gathering and not social distancing.  These are  NOT an emergency or a matter that ECSO Deputies will be responding to. 

These complaints were due to 15-20 people celebrating a birthday party, and today, a church hosting an outdoor church service. 

The constitution of the United States allows us the Freedom to  Assemble, and the Freedom of Religion. No emergency declaration that’s  been signed can take those god given rights away from us. 

I  spoke at UNR in February, and I talked about how the protection of those  rights are up to each of us.  People choosing to excursive their rights  to assemble is their step of protecting these rights. 

From  birthday parties to church services, these are the rights of the  American people, and just because you don’t like what they’re doing,  doesn’t mean you’re right.  You have a choice to stay home, just as they  have the right to assemble.

In closing, it is my stance, that  the men and women of the ECSO will not be taking enforcement action on  any of Governor Sisolak’s “Orders” that clearly violate our  constitutional rights.
