Arizona investigating false, threatening SB 1070 mailings
First, that list in Utah. Now this. I can’t help the chill going up my spine at all of it:
——
The last page of each mailing, which includes the return address of the Sheriff’s Office, featured a handwritten message: “Effective July 29th, fair warning, last chance and take heed.”
Also enclosed in each envelope was a copy of Arizona’s new immigration law printed from the House of Representatives’ Web site, deputies said.
Businesses that received the mailing included Eurofresh and Wagon Wheel Mobile Park. They were addressed by hand and postmarked for the end of June, deputies said.
It is unclear why the mailings were sent to particular businesses and individuals.
SB 1070 makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally. It states that an officer engaged in a lawful stop, detention or arrest shall, when practicable, ask about a person’s legal status when reasonable suspicion exists that the person is in the U.S. illegally.
The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office asked anyone who receives a similar letter to contact deputies.
