Threatening letters sent to minorities in Pennsylvania signed 'Donald and his Crew', police investigating

Minority families in Pennsylvania have reportedly received letters telling them non-US citizens should leave the country due to president Trump election win.

According to the Delaware County Daily Times, four minority families received the threatening letters at their homes. In response, Swarthmore Police chief Brian Craig told the publication that his department is investigating.

The letter, addressed to “non-US citizens”, reads:

Due to the our recently elected president, Donald Trump, and his amazing changes, there is now a law against filthy nutheads like yourself living in our country.

The letter says the residents will be evicted from their homes at “9am tomorrow afternoon,” but “Donald and his crew think its best if you pack ur bags tonight and don’t say goodbye to any1”.

The letter also suggests the recipients get jobs at McDonald's, Denny’s or even as prostitutes.

Sincerely, Donald and his Crew, specifically Mike Pence.

According to ABC 6 News, students at local Strath Haven High School are supposedly behind the letters. A photo of students posing for a photo wearing Ku Klux Klan hoods appeared on the internet recently, and police suspect the two incidents may be linked. Police confirmed that one female student has been connected to the letter.

In response, students staged a class walkout to protest the letters and the actions of their peers.
