The “anonymous” group behind the list of over 1,000 suspected undocumented immigrants released in Utah last week isn’t so anonymous anymore.
At least two Utah state employees have been identified as being behind “the list” that included the names, addresses, birth dates, due dates, social security numbers, and places of employment of 1,300 “suspected” undocumented immigrants including about 200 children.

The workers, whose ironically have not have their names released, were employed by the Department of Workforce Services. There also may be 3 to 10 other state employees involved.

Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff said that in addition to the state charges the two would be facing, there is the possibility of Federal felony level charges as well.

Gov. Gary Herbert also said that the state of Utah would not investigate any of the names of the people on “the list” but did not dismiss the possibility that the Federal government could and at publication date I.C.E. has not said that they will not use the list.

For those who say that anti-immigrant sentiment isn’t racialized as “brown”, the majority of the names on “the list”, some belonging to people who have since come forward and are not undocumented, are Latino.
