GREELEY, Colo. (AP) -- The Weld County sheriff's office is looking for whoever sent it a letter threatening to put bombs around Greeley next week unless illegal immigrants are released from jail.

The sheriff's office says the letter was handwritten in Spanish, and the threats were directed primarily toward judicial and law-enforcement officials.

Sheriff John Cooke says he wants the public to know his office is working diligently to find and arrest whoever wrote the letter. The Greeley police department and state and federal law enforcement agencies have been notified.

Cooke is asking residents to be mindful of their surroundings and to report suspicious activity.

The Weld County jail has 58 inmates who are waiting for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to pick them up and deport them.

As a resident of Greeley, hopefully these threats are idle, but it is certainly nothing to joke about, how would you feel if they were made in your area?

According to Ms. Napolitano and DHS, you now should be searching for an extremist catholic white veteran who just happens to be able to write in Spanish.
