"The 12-page letter, titled "A Real American Response to Foreign Terrorist Invasions," calls for a "real war" to be brought against ICE and its agents, citing the recent surge in ICE operations in cities across the country, including in Minneapolis, where federal agents fatally shot two people in January. The sweeping operations have prompted protests across the nation, including in Sonoma County, with demonstrators calling for the end of major ICE deployments and for Congress to halt future funding to the agency."
"The letter, shared with The Press Democrat, includes diagrams of how to make an improvised explosive device and describes ICE agents as "low-IQ trigger happy domestic terrorists" deployed as a "foreign invader force against any innocent citizen." The tirade is laden with references to articles about ICE operations in cities and the conditions in detention centers, as well as as well as photos of ICE agents and people they have detained."
Santa Rosa police are investigating anonymous letters, including one mailed to the Sonoma County Republican Party, that call for violence against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. A 12-page letter urges a "real war" against ICE, cites recent federal operations and fatal incidents, and references nationwide protests. The letter contains diagrams for making an improvised explosive device, photos of agents and detainees, and criticizes private detention operators Geo Group and CoreCivic. The Sonoma County Republican Party received the letter on Jan. 20 and reported it to law enforcement on Jan. 22. Local violent crimes investigators and the regional intelligence center are handling the probe.
