I know that it is not illegal to simply wish death on someone in general, as long as it is not a threat. For example "I hope you die in a car crash" is okay but "I'm going to kill you" is not. I'm moving soon and I want to write a letter telling my boyfriend and his entire family how I hope all of them die. Would it be construed as harassment to do this in a letter if I just leave it on the kitchen counter and not sent it through the mail?

Yeah another person just trying to get some easy cash.Though if she wins the courts will be overflowing with people who claim that ex convicts killed someone in their family because they didn't keep them in jail.In order for her to win she will have to prove that in reality if this person had been deported that her family member would have still been alive.And since when is Ice obligated to check the legal status if every person arrested?Perhaps if someone had reported him to Ice as being an illegal then yes they could say Ice did nothing otherwise they cannot stop every single person and ask them for legal status without at least have a strong reason for it.Like if they suspect a company is hiring illegals.Its like someone stopping you on the street and asking what your religion or sexual preference is.But yet again maybe it will work but highly doubt it.

You should take the higher road and not go this route. This behavior will only fuel their dislike of you. They'll chuckle and say, she's a low life, look at how she acts. You are so better off without her.
Don't go to that level! Just move on and never look back. I gave my ex 1 chance to apologize and give me his side of the story. He chose not to and I never saw or spoke to him again. To this day, I feel smug knowing that he never got it off of his chest, and he never will. So, I win. I took the high road and he can suffer for his actions. (and he has had a major round of bad karma!)
If you feel you want to do something, do it verbally, not in writing. You don't ever want to put something in writing that could be used against you. It would show that you have bad character, have an anger streak, etc. (even though you don't) it could be twisted, and you don't need any additional drama down the road.
Put something in the letter that will keep them guessing. Like, what did she mean by that? For instance, I hope you think long and hard about the way you chose to treat me. Twist it and make them feel guilty, but don't put anything threatening, what so ever.
Good luck! It sounds like your life will be much better without them. That should be enough to make you smile. Karma will be watching over them and you.

While it's not illegal per se, it could be used by them to bring a civil harassment lawsuit against you. It doesn't make a difference how they receive it (left in their home or through the mail), either way a judge or jury could construe it as a threat.

It's ok but they won't like it. Also remember what goes around comes around.

Its legal I think but it seems extreamly unmorale.
