Immigrant agencies feel rise in harassment – Tennessee
Tagged: police, Tennessee
Officials at local organizations that aid immigrants and refugees say they have experienced an increase in hate mail and threatening phone calls.
“In the 10 years since we opened our office, I had never experienced any threats until last year,” said Anne Curtis, director of Bridge Refugees Services of Chattanooga, an agency that works with churches and other organizations to help settle refugees.
Ms. Curtis said they started to receive phone calls, letters and e-mails last year from an individual who disagreed with their work on behalf of refugees. She said they had to call the police twice because they felt threatened by him.”*
