Rockland Police say they’re investigating threats made against two city councilors.

Officers did not specify what motivated the threats, but the investigation comes after two councilors expressed concern after voting to restrict city cooperation with federal immigration officials.

The councilors say they’ve received threats and have been doxed after their personal information was published on a conservative social media page.

Rockland Police say no formal request to press charges has been filed so far, and are urging the community to avoid hostility over the issue.

“We understand that local issues can spark strong feelings, but we ask that our community express those views through constructive dialogue rather than hostility,” Rockland Police said in a statement. “Let’s prioritize kindness and safety for one another and our community, even when we disagree.”

The issue of threats arose after the City Council approved an ordinance barring Rockland employees from assisting federal immigration agents unless a judicial order is issued.

City councilor Penny York claims she’s received numerous threats and has been doxed by having details of her personal life published on what she calls a white supremacist-friendly website.

Councilor Kaitlin Callahan also says she’s received threats and said comments within the Facebook group ‘Maine Community X’ have encouraged the doxing and harassment of both her and York.

Callahan said the problem is the intentional spreading of misinformation and pointed to an interview Councilor Nicole Kalloch gave to the the conservative media outlet Main Wire.

Kalloch has denied she’s responsible for any threatening communications. She provided the lone vote against the ordinance barring ICE cooperation
