Three refugee families in Salt Lake County recently received emails claiming to be from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, instructing them to leave the country within seven days or face deportation. While the legitimacy of these emails is still being verified, the situation has raised concerns among local leaders and the community. Millcreek Mayor Jeff Silvestrini spoke out strongly in defense of the families Friday, emphasizing their right to reside in the United States. “I want you to know you should feel safe here, and you are welcome in our community,” he said during a press conference at Millcreek City Hall.
