This letter has been circulated throughout Lincoln County, Oregon (my home county). It encourages people to sit in parking lots of churches, schools and stores to report people to immigration. At the end, it says their homes will be confiscated, freeing them up for white people.
I don't think it will appeal to many. We are a small community that has lots of "brown" kids in our schools, and parents working in hospitality and food processing industries.
Sick.

(6,215 posts)A single, or handful of demented individuals, mass mailing a letter that makes immigrants wonder if they are being surveilled by strangers everywhere they go.
I have faith that this will not get much traction here. But it is profoundly disturbing.

(1,819 posts)2024 is the 30th anniversary of the Rwanda Genocide.
Preceding the wholesale butchery, "Radio Rwanda" began a campaign of demonizing Tutsis as "cockroaches that needed to be exterminated." Radio Rwanda hosts requested the Hutsi population nationwide to identify Tutsis to Hutsi militia members like the ones pictured below. Many did.
Interahamwe murderers taking a smoke break during a long day of committing atrocities.
Soldiers, gendarmes, politicians, Interahamwe, and ordinary citizens were amongst the perpetrators of the 100-day bloodbath that killed 500,000 and 662,000 Rwandan Tutsis. Many of the massacres were conducted with melee weapons and machetes.
The US is NOT going to see a genocide in 2025, but will witness hate radio requesting civilian volunteers to identify the brown-skinned migrants and "undesirables" hiding in their community for deportation.
