SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Funcionarios de Utah identificaron al menos a dos empleados estatales que aparentemente ingresaron a una base de datos estatal para crear una lista de 1.300 supuestos inmigrantes indocumentados, según anunciaron las autoridades. El gobernador Gary Herbert dijo que los empleados trabajan para el Departamento de Servicios Laborales, que administra programas de cupones de alimentos y otras prestaciones públicas. Los funcionarios fueron suspendidos de sus funciones.

SALT LAKE CITY — State officials said Thursday that Utah Department of Workforce Services databases were indeed used to help generate a list of 1,300 supposed \"illegal immigrants\" that was spread to the news media and law enforcement by an anonymous group. They also said that a woman employed at DWS had called Latino activist Tony Yapias two weeks ago to complain about illegal immigrants receiving social services. In the phone call, she identified herself only as a state employee. Yapias recorded the call.

OGDEN — Piles of free sunglasses for migrant farm workers sat on a table with few takers. So did neat piles of donated work pants, shirts and boots scattered on the park lawn. A barbecue for 150 people was ready, but only 45 people were there to eat it Thursday night.

State investigators have pinpointed the Department of Workforce Services as the source of data used to compile a list of 1,300 people who are purportedly in the country illegally. Angie Welling, spokeswoman for Gov. Gary Herbert, said the inquiry now is turning to who might have accessed the information on the list.

Reporting from Seattle — Since the distribution of an anonymous letter this week containing the names, addresses and other personal data of more than 1,300 Utah residents said to be undocumented immigrants, Tony Yapias\' phone has not stopped ringing. \"I have one phone line; I\'ve already missed 60 calls now, and there are 72 messages,\" said Yapias, director of the advocacy group Proyecto Latino de Utah. \"People wanting to know if they\'re on the list. Should they move to another state? Should they leave the country? Horrified, scared, whatever language you can put on it.\"

SALT LAKE CITY — A spokeswoman for Utah Gov. Gary Herbert said Thursday that investigators have found evidence suggesting a state database was breached to create a list of 1,300 purported illegal immigrants that has been circulating around the state. News media, law enforcement and other government officials started receiving the list of names and personal information this week, creating widespread fear in the Hispanic community. The anonymous mailing demands that those on the list be deported, although some named on the list have said they are in the country legally.

The letters arrived in plain, unmarked 8 1/2-by-11 envelopes, with no return address. And when newspaper editors and television producers across Utah examined the contents, they were perplexed. “It was a complete surprise to me when I opened it,” said Joseph Cannon, editor of The Deseret News in Salt Lake City.

SALT LAKE CITY — \"We know you are illegal,\" the stranger on the phone said, \"and will call immigration. We know where you live.\" The call came Wednesday after parents at the home were included on a list of 1,300 Hispanics who are supposedly living in Utah illegally. The list was sent Monday to law enforcement and news media by an anonymous group aiming to have the people deported.

Fear and mistrust reverberated throughout the Latino community Wednesday after an anonymous group distributed a list containing information on 1,300 people purportedly in the country illegally. “The truth is … I am afraid [immigration agents] will come knock on my door at night,” said a man in his 40s who lives in Salt Lake City with his wife and 8-year-old son. He emigrated from Guatemala 20 years ago and is not here legally.
