We've all seen the misspellings, but that was too much.

kind of thing. Especially by someone who herself might have received this kind of letter herself at one time. Very disheartening.

11. 52 year old Nancy Arechiga has been arrested

May 2020
52-year-old Nancy Arechiga, a resident of San Leandro, was arrested after San Leandro Police officers were dispatched to the quiet Heron Bay neighborhood regarding several reports of random notes placed on residents' doors.

San Leandro Police say there were at least 5 letters posted on homes and other locations by a woman named Nancy Arechiga . The letters suggest those not native to America leave the country immediately.
...
SLPD investigated a similar incident on Thursday evening when a related note was found on the Heron Bay trail, affixed to an information board. That note partially read, "no Asians allowed, leave immediately." That post was quickly removed by a good samaritan and discarded. It is presumed that Arechiga is also responsible for that posting.

Police arrested 52-year-old Arichiga from San Leandro for "inappropriate posts towards minorities" but were forced to released her from jail because of the current state bail schedule which is backed-up due to the pandemic. This isn't something that sits well with Trinh who has always considered her neighborhood a quiet and safe place.

The end of one of the hate postings on a door:

"One American, white, brave, that serves the Nation of USA is going to live here."
A white supremacist is threatening ethnic cleansing.

Criminally and I hope they can go after her for civil damages.

Pandemic or not. Some people deserve to be sitting in a jail cell.

The mentioned “inappropriate posts towards minorities” is not actually the name of any crime defined in the California Penal Code.

Distributing written material with opinions in it, absent a specific threat to do harm to a specific individual, is a difficult thing to actually make illegal in the US.

The article doesn’t actually identify what, if anything, she has been charged with.

9. San Leandro has a racist history

As I sit here in my Oakland home, I can look across the street at San Leandro. I've been aware of the racist history of San Leandro, but I thought it was just that...history. It's so weird because the rest of the Bay Area is liberal.

Since “inappropriate posts toward minorities” is not actually an identifiable offense in the California Penal Code.

"Further details about the charges against Arechiga were not immediately available."

Possibly if you search on Tuesday, you will know the charge.
