With support from the Rhode Island National Guard, local police officers set out on Saturday to identify New York state residents in local neighborhoods and provide face-to-face notification about newly imposed quarantine requirements for visitors from the Empire State.
The operation represented a more residential offshoot of other law enforcement efforts, mostly on the road, that Rhode Island State Police led off on Friday with support from the Guard.

Let me know when they knock on Peter Griffin’s Door looking for some of those New Yawkers...
Yeah —> dont think so: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3829854/posts
Did they frisk them for stolen hospital masks?
How soon will they be “New Yorker Frei”?
Quarantine The ORCS!!
So.. If they encounter an illegal immigrant?
Do they have to prove they are NOT from NY? Do they need to self quarantine or self deport?
Or, do they just get a pass?
Barn door...horse if they’re already there.
When they're done up there, they can send The Guard down South to help us clean them out!
There are no Illegals according to the United States Census.
that’s funny. do they arrest the people that greet them with “Get the f@*% outta here?”
Just put out a note that the “peepers” are in town.
New Englanders hate Peepers from NY.
What do you do with a New Yorker if you catch one?
They ain’t good eating! Their coat’s no better then rat skin. They make this terrible whining racket!
Yes, that pictures says it all, don’t it? Not.
This is funny. They let the illegals in who carry disease, commit murders, commit rapes but throwing NYers out.
Isn’t this racist?
Let me know when there is open season...no bag limit and bounty. (dpO22 gets a pass as well as a few others.)
Beats me. No one has knocked on my door FROM New York. And no on has knocked on my door looking for someone from NY.
What has Freepers freaking out is they think someone is going to come into their home.
If someone knocks on your door...you realize you are under no legal obligation to answer it. Tell them to “screw.”
“she has broadened the restrictions to include all other states.”
Still in effect. Read before you post.
