Racist anti-Mexican hate mail received at IMC office in SF

by imcista
A typed hate-mail letter from "G.R.O.M." (Get Rid of Mexicans) was received today at the SF Bay Area IMC office in San Francisco. The letter included a pile of cut-up INS, California, and Mexican ID cards belonging to residents of San Jose, Redwood City, Gilroy, and San Francisco.

The letter was mailed to the Indymedia office perhaps in response to Indybay's recent coverage of the activities of racist vigilante groups operating particularly in southern California. "G.R.O.M." claims to have "hundreds" of similar ID cards and threatens to "keep taking them."

§The letter has a presumably false return address

The return address is that of the Mexican Consulate in San Jose, California.

A Google search does not immediately reveal much information about a "G.R.O.M." group.
