Defendants' Amended Demurrer to Amended Complaint is OVERRULED. Both causes of action are sufficiently plead. The 'extreme and outrageous conduct' element is met because the FAC alleges a plausible theory as to why Defendants' statement to "go back home" had xenophobic intent followed by a three-year campaign of surveillance, trespasses, and false and/or negligent statements and rumors. Additionally, the facts are sufficient to state an NIED claim because Plaintiffs are foreseeable victims of Defendants' aforementioned conduct and because the FAC alleges physical symptoms of emotional distress, including stomach pain, headaches, asthmatic reactions. =(501/CFH)
