FOXNews.com - List of Alleged Illegal Immigrants Mailed in Utah: "SALT LAKE CITY
-- A list containing the names and personal information of 1,300 people who an anonymous group contends are illegal immigrants has been mailed around Utah, terrifying the state's Hispanic community.
Republican Gov. Gary Herbert wrote in a tweet Tuesday that he has asked state agencies to investigate the dissemination of the list -- sent anonymously to several media outlets, and law enforcement and state agencies. A letter accompanying the list demands that those on it be deported immediately.
Most of the names on the list are of Hispanic origin. The list also contains highly detailed personal information such as Social Security numbers, birth dates, workplaces, addresses and phone numbers. Names of children are included, along with due dates of pregnant women on the list.
'My phone has been ringing nonstop since this morning with people finding out they're on the list,' said Tony Yapias, former director of the Utah Office of Hispanic Affairs. 'They're feeling terrorized. They're very scared.'
The list's release comes as several conservative Utah lawmakers consider sponsoring a tough new illegal immigration law similar to the one passed recently in Arizona.
