A recent profile in the Sacramento Bee revealed that the latest letter is addressed to “Corrupt Mexican” and ends with the line: “hurry up and die.” It was signed “White Power.” It certainly wasn’t the first, nor will it be the last hateful letter sent to leaders of color in the state’s capitol.

Since his freshman year in the Assembly, de León has been attacked with derogatory comments and ethnic slurs. However, since the 2016 election, they’ve gotten worse and more frequent.
