Massachusetts residents say they are victims of fake Harris postcards announcing that a migrant family is moving in

Residents of a Massachusetts community say they were victims of fake postcards from the Kamala Harris campaign informing them that a migrant family would move in with them because of their support for Vice President Harris.

One of the people of Shrewsbury told NBC10 Boston that she received the postcard after placing a sign in her yard supporting Harris and Tim Walz.

“It really scared me,” the woman, who did not want to be identified, told NBC10.

The postcard, designed to look like Harris-Walz campaign mail, thanked her for putting up a sign and showing her support, and warning him that a family from Nicaragua was going to move in with her.

“That’s when I realized it was an obvious attempt to either scare me or make me angry and upset,” the woman said. . “It’s really sad that the country has gotten to this point where you can’t put up a sign and support a candidate without being harassed by something like this.”

Another Shrewsbury resident said she received a similar postcard in the mail, except hers said she would be welcoming a family of five from Guatemala.

“It makes me angry,” the woman, who also did not want to be identified, told NBC10. “But if the take-home message is ‘Don’t put a sign on the lawn to support a political candidate,’ I feel exactly the opposite. The next time there’s an election, I’ll put three signs in my yard.”

The resident added that she contacted the Shrewsbury Democratic Town Committee, who asked her to file a police report. He was also advised to report it to the post office in case any federal mail laws were violated, NBC10 reported.

A third resident of the Shrewsbury community posted her postcard on Reddit, which matched similar wording from other residents.

“Thank you for supporting Kamala! We are so grateful that you placed a sign in the yard. But now we need your continued help,” the postcard read.

The postcard is addressed to “Resident” with a Kamala Harris logo displayed on the front of the postcard.

“We will be moving a family of 4 from the country of Belize to your home on 11-3-2024. They will need food, toiletries and transportation. Thank you!” reads the card.

It is unclear where the postcards came from, as no political organizations or return addresses are listed.

“Well, someone seems to be upset with my choice of yard sign. I thought it was pretty funny, so I decided to share it with you all. I could seriously use some help with the leaves, if it’s true…”, the caption read on the Reddit post.

Last month, the Department of Homeland Security declared the terrorism threat environment in the United States will remain high over the next year, largely due to terrorist groups exploiting weaknesses on the southern border.

“Over the next year, we expect that certain individuals with ties to terrorism and certain criminal actors will continue their efforts to exploit migration flows and the complex border security environment to enter the United States ” said the DHS assessment in October.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign, Shrewsbury police and the Shrewsbury Democratic Town Committee, but did not immediately receive a response.
