Utah Investigating ‘Illegal Immigrant’ List
Utah state officials are investigating a leak of personal information, after an anonymous conservative group circulated a list of 1,300 people they claim are illegal immigrants, including Social Security numbers and family members’ names and addresses.
The anonymous group mailed the list to several media outlets, law enforcement agencies and others this week, frightening the state’s Hispanic community. A letter accompanying the list demanded that those on it be deported immediately.
The list also contains highly detailed personal information such as Social Security numbers, birth dates, workplaces, addresses and phone numbers. Names of children are included, along with due dates of pregnant women on the list.
Republican Gov. Gary Herbert wrote in a tweet Tuesday that he has asked state agencies to investigate the list’s origin.
