These messages warn of roadblocks on principal roads, drones detecting people in their homes and warns immigrants to stay home from work. Local schools are seeing reduced attendance. The announcement cites the Department of Immigrant Protection; this is not a real government agency. We strongly condemn this false and malicious messaging, whose effect is to cause hurt and disrupt people's lives. Please know that all people in the United States (including immigrants) have rights.
