Arizona: Impersonating Cops to Intimidate Immigrants

Posted July 13, 2010 by Patrick Young, Esq.

A fake mailing that appeared to be from the police has sparked an investigation in Arizona.

Individuals and businesses in southern Arizona received a mailing that appeared to be from the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office warning them that they might be in violation of the state’s new anti-immigrant law. At the end of the letters was a handwritten note : “Effective July 29th, fair warning, last chance and take heed”.

The letters were not from the Sheriff’s Office.
