Anti-Immigrant Sentiment in the East Coast?

This is from a 5 minute google search. There are easily more as well as incidents I’ve heard of first hand of comments made and folks harassed. Nobody said it is “rampant” but it IS in New England and there IS an upswing. Racism doesn’t stop at the borders to the New England states. I’m not living in a bubble here. I don’t know but it is out there.
