The flyer, discovered outside Roseville High School, was handed over to police on Friday. According to Ellen Debach-Riley, who is speaking on behalf of the neighbor who found it, the message has stirred up fear and anger.
The flyer includes the actual number for Homeland Security and reads: "Report illegal aliens," followed by, "In your neighborhood – at schools – at work – at church – at restaurants – on job sites — nowhere to hide."
California has seen a 20% rise in hate crimes over the past year, and legislation like Assembly Bill 3024, the Stop Hate Littering Act, was signed into law in September to combat hate-based materials placed on private property with the intent to intimidate or harass.
"What other purpose would there be to this other than to harm people?" she said. "That's what's wrong."
"While some of us find messages we may be exposed to as repulsive, that doesn't mean they are not protected speech under the First Amendment," Myers explained.
"There are a lot of things people do that are harmful, whether or not they're illegal," Debach-Riley said.
The flyer's discovery near Roseville High School prompted questions about potential connections to the school. However, the school district stated they were unaware of the flyer and believed it was not associated with students.
