According to the letter, recipients would supposedly be paid an $80 stipend for food costs and be provided with “government-approved” bunks. The letter was written on official-looking state letterhead and stamped with a fake Pennsylvania seal.

“Thank you for your dedication to the health and safety of these future Americans!” the letter concluded.

Warren, who quickly realized the letter she received was fake, said it was clearly written to scare recipients and meant to threaten recipients.

“I could definitely see, even for me reading this letter, it felt threatening even though I’m very pro-immigrant because it felt like something that was being imposed on me,” she said.

    That smells like mail fraud to me, and I believe that’s a federal crime (meaning even if the state looks the other way, it can still be prosecuted).
