WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Residents of at least one Washington D.C. neighborhood woke up on Thursday to find the area plastered with posters urging them to turn in illegal immigrants, but federal authorities denied putting up the signs and denounced them as inciting fear.
The bogus posters bearing the seal of the Department of Homeland Security warned about criminal offenses related to harboring or helping people in the country illegally, and gave phone numbers to report information about them to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“If you see something, say something,” said the flyer, titled “Sanctuary City Neighborhood Public Notice” and written on the ICE letterhead.
Washington is among dozens of so-called sanctuary cities that offer safe haven to illegal immigrants, and local police are under orders not to cooperate with federal authorities seeking to deport residents. An attempt by the administration of President Donald Trump to cut off federal funds to sanctuary cities has been blocked by a court.
Mayor Muriel Bowser said on Twitter that the posters were aimed at scaring residents of the heavily Democratic city and that she had ordered police and the Public Works Department to remove them.
“Tear it down! DC is a sanctuary city,” she said. more here
Scared? Hopefully, straight back to the rat hole country, they crawled over from!
Ay caramba!
Worst agitprop ever. Unreadable cut and paste which would have decayed on the poles unnoticed if the perps hadn’t sent copies with instructions to the city and the media. And not a lick of Spanish lingo for the benefit of the supposed target audience. It reeks of college student.

What about Stop Signs? Speed Limits?
Are we on a Highway To Hell.
You mean I have to cancel our bus trips to DC where we drive up and down the street looking for Hispanic peoples, shout out “run fore de border!” and take a drink?
Shoot, among my white friends we go almost every week.
Always the ones cackling about “false flags” that turn out to be the flaggers.
Someone said it best; If you wanna know what the left is up to, just listen to what they accuse the right of.
I keep hearing “withhold federal funds”.
If they won’t enforce the law then why are they receiving ANY funds?
Cut off all funds.
Now I normally would have included “until they start enforcing all of the laws” on that last sentence, but liberals have already proven they only care about enforcing laws when it will hurt conservatives – and I don’t exactly want liberals to start following us around so they can show us some good enforcement.
If an immigration criminal is using somebody else’s Social Security Number (or any other identification number), he is guilty of identity theft. Send your LifeLock bill to the City Hall of the nearest sanctuary city.
