'Trump's Coming': California Farmworker Groups Rattled by Threatening Postcards

https://www.kqed.org/news/12024013/trump-is-coming-california-farmworker-groups-rattled-by-threatening-postcards

"Belinda Hernandez-Arriaga, the executive director of Ayudando Latinos A Soñar, had just returned to work after a long weekend when she was notified that an anonymous postcard threatening immigrant workers had been sent to the nonprofit.

The postcard sent to ALAS, which was discovered Tuesday, told workers to pack their bags because “Trump’s coming.” It also included contact information for Homeland Security and immigration enforcement, as well as a list of where undocumented persons could be found — schools, work, church, restaurants and “in your neighborhood.”"

I wonder if Newsom has had time between natural disasters to address these threats? Not only farm workers, but hotels and most other tourism-related jobs are also tied to our economy...

I just saw a list of action and safety numbers posted on FB for the Ohlone tribe members in the Bay Area.
