Utah investigates mailing list of alleged illegal immigrants

As reported on MSNBC.com, an anonymous group in Utah released a list containing personal information of more than 1,300 people who are supposed illegal immigrants. Information contained on the list includes social security numbers, birth dates, work places, addresses, and phone numbers. It is reported that several media outlets, law enforcement agencies and other organizations began receiving the list in the mail this week. The anonymous group demands that those on the list be immediately deported.

A spokeswoman for the governor of Utah, Gary Herbert, indicates that it will be several days before it is known whether the list was leaked by state workers. Many state agencies are being reviewed; however, the investigation is focusing on just three. This is yet another incident to spread panic through the Hispanic community since the recent passing of Arizona’s controversial immigration law. It is also reported that some Utah lawmakers are considering implementing a similar law in the state of Utah.
