在弗吉尼亚州亚历山德里亚，传单呼吁人们报告移民和投票法律违规行为。埃文·帕帕斯本周早些时候在遛狗时，与妻子一起回家的路上，发现街区各处汽车上都留有传单。
Flyers in Alexandria urge people to report immigration, voting law violations Evan Pappas was on the way back to his house while walking his dog with his wife in Alexandria, Virginia, earlier this week, when he came across flyers that had been left on cars throughout the block.
他与一些邻居讨论了这些传单，几分钟后，他绕了一圈，把贴在汽车挡风玻璃上的传单撕下来了。传单标题为《阿灵顿社区观察庇护城市信息通知》。
He spoke to some neighbors about them, and a few minutes later, he walked around and pulled the flyers, titled “Arlington Community Watch Sanctuary City Information Notice,” off of car windshields.
传单说明，美国法律禁止“非法外国人”参加总统、副总统、参议院或众议院选举投票，“或进入/居留在美国”。传单右下角印有美国国土安全部的标志。
It explains that U.S. law bans “illegal aliens” from voting for president, vice president, Senate or House elections, “or entering/residing in the United States.”The flyers had a logo that says U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the bottom corner.
传单还提供了一条热线，敦促人们举报联邦投票或移民法律的违规行为。
It included a hotline, urging people to report violations of federal voting or immigration laws.
如今，邻居们正就这些传单发声，担心它们可能会在选举日前几周阻止人们去投票。
Now, the neighbors are speaking out about the flyers, worrying they could deter people from voting just weeks before Election Day.
“这是为了延续一种叙事，无论他们是否完全相信这一点，其目的都是制造一种恐惧，即选举过程不可执行，或者其中存在问题，或者它不安全，或者是为了阻止人们去投票站投票，”帕帕斯说。
“It was to perpetuate a narrative, and whether they fully believed it or not, it was to instill a fear that the election process is nonenforceable, or that there’s something wrong with it, or that it’s not secure, or it was to keep people from turning out to the polls,” Pappas said.
美国国土安全部发言人在一份声明中表示，该机构“未参与这些传单的分发”。
In a statement, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said the agency “was not involved in the distribution of these flyers.”
住在同一社区的奥利维亚·特罗耶说，她周一早上醒来后发现，街区多条道路上的汽车上贴满了“反移民传单”。“他们覆盖了这条街以及我们所有的相邻街道，”她说。
Olivia Troye, who lives in the same neighborhood, said she woke up Monday morning and realized several blocks of cars had “anti-immigrant flyers.”“They had covered this street and all of our neighboring streets,” she said.
特罗耶曾在特朗普总统第一任期内担任前副总统迈克·彭斯的工作人员，并宣布计划以民主党人身份参加弗吉尼亚州重新划分选区后重新划定的选区的国会选举。
Troye worked for former Vice President Mike Pence during President Donald Trump’s first term, and announced a plan to run for Congress as a Democrat in a redrawn district under Virginia’s redistricting push.
她表示，她在该地区断断续续居住了大约二十年，她说自己“从未见过这样的事情。”特罗伊说，她门铃摄像头的录像显示，有人戴着口罩把传单贴在汽车上。她说，她已经将这段录像提供给亚历山德里亚警方。
She’s lived in the area on and off for about two decades, and she said she has “never seen anything like it.”Footage from her doorbell camera, Troye said, shows someone wearing a mask putting the flyers on cars. She’s shared the footage with Alexandra police, she said.
在向WTOP的声明中，亚历山德里亚警察局表示，正邀请公众通过在线证据门户提交有关分发传单的个人的信息或视频录像。
In a statement to WTOP, the Alexandria Police Department said it’s inviting the public to submit information or video footage of individuals distributing the flyers to an online evidence portal.
一名警察发言人表示：“虽然我们的初步审查尚未发现此事件涉及任何刑事违规行为，但该事件已被记录在信息报告中，并根据部门政策被分配进行进一步调查。”
“While our initial review has not identified any criminal violations associated with the incident, the matter has been documented in an informational report and assigned for further investigation in accordance with departmental policy,” a police spokesperson said.
WTOP还联系了该市选举委员会和市长阿莉亚·加斯金斯，以获取他们的评论。
WTOP has also contacted the city’s Electoral Board and Mayor Alyia Gaskins for comment.
