EL CAJON, Calif. ? Officials in El Cajon say members of the local Iraqi immigrant community have received threatening phone calls and been questioned about their U.S. patriotism following a federal take down of a drug trafficking ring operating out of a social club in the working-class city east of San Diego.
El Cajon Police Chief Pat Sprecco said in a news conference with the immigrant community's leaders Wednesday that he is concerned about anger and unfair condemnation directed at the group because of the operation that resulted in the arrests of 60 people involved in the ring, believed led by an Iraqi Chaldean living in El Cajon.
About 40,000 Chaldeans live in El Cajon, the second largest such community in the U.S. Many escaped persecution by Islamic radicals in Iraq.
