Summary

Officials in Lincoln County, Oregon, have condemned an anonymous letter urging residents to report “brown folks” suspected of being undocumented immigrants.

Sheriff Curtis Landers called the letter harmful and divisive, affirming the county’s commitment to inclusivity and non-cooperation with immigration enforcement per Oregon’s 1987 sanctuary law.

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum and Toledo Mayor Rod Cross also denounced the letter, which includes threats of a January 2025 immigration roundup.

While not criminal, the letter has been reported to the FBI.
