SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The Utah attorney general's office says three dozen Social Security numbers that appeared on a list of purported illegal immigrants will be reviewed to see if they were involved in any violations of state law.
Spokesman Paul Murphy says only two of the 36 numbers on the list were valid. He says the state will investigate to see if any numbers were used fraudulently.
The AG's office is investigating whether two Department of Workforce Services employees compiled the list. The department alleges the employees inappropriately accessed private data to create the list, which was sent to law enforcement and news media.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Utah has asked the Department of Homeland Security to condemn the list. A DHS spokesman says the department doesn't believe the list has been used for any investigations.
