via: [personal profile] pecunium Anonymous group stalks Latinos in Utah and makes list of 1300 people it claims are illegal immigrants This is reprehensible oh my god, people who did this? You are evil bastards and should feel bad.






An anonymous group says it quietly watched Hispanics in their neighborhoods, schools, churches and "public welfare buildings" to compile a list of 1,300 people it says are illegal immigrants living in Utah. The group sent the list to law enforcement agencies and news media demanding that those named "be deported immediately."


It is not known who produced the list, although Gov. Gary Herbert has called for an investigation to see if the list was compiled by someone with access to state databases containing personal information. The list contains birthdates, workplaces, addresses, phone numbers and social security numbers. Names of children are included. Several pregnant women have their exact due dates listed. All the names seem to be Hispanic.



"This is a way to terrorize people," said Tony Yapias, director of Proyecto Latino and a former state director of Hispanic affairs.


He spent much of Tuesday calling people on the list to warn them and to figure out who may have collected the information.


"I'm nauseated," he said through tears. "All of these people are terrified. I don't have words to describe how scared they are. It just breaks my heart what they are telling me."


While some are worried about deportation, others fear that "crazy people" could use the list to hurt them or their families, Yapias said.


He said wording of the letter has made some Hispanics wonder if they are being followed.MORE scary shit at the link





OH NO. NONONONONONONONO THIS IS NOT OK UNDER ANY STRETCH OF IMAGINATION AMERICA. NOT OK.
