DES MOINES, Iowa—The Iowa Homeland Security & Emergency Management office in Des Moines is cautioning Iowans to be aware of a fake letter that says the National Guard is mobilizing. The incident was reported when a resident in Guttenberg, Iowa received a letter through the mail. The message has been around since the beginning of the pandemic, falsely claiming that the National Guard is being mobilized to enforce a nationwide quarantine, and the letter is emblazoned with an official National Guard seal. Once again, this letter is not real. Make sure you’re getting your information from legitimate sources.
