Authorities in Kentucky are investigating racist Ku Klux Klan (KKK) flyers telling immigrants to “leave now” and “avoid deportation” that were discovered in multiple cities over the past few
Earlier this week, several police agencies reported Ku Klux Klan (KKK) fliers being scattered in neighborhoods across Tennessee, including here in Chattanooga.N
Under the image, the Trinity White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan offers applications and memberships for $1. It lists "realms" in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, with individual phone numbers and an invitation to "call the nearest realm for more information."
Several cities in Northern Kentucky received reports of fliers calling on people to monitor and report all immigrants and encouraging membership in the Ku Klux Klan.
Flyers spread by members of the Ku Klux Klan are telling immigrants in Kentucky and other states to "leave now" in order to "avoid deportation," according to authorities.
The flyer read, "Leave now avoid deportation," and included information for KKK groups in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.
Sweetwater police said they are working with neighboring agencies that reported similar flyers claiming to be from the Trinity White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
KKK flyers found in East Tennessee prompted police investigations and community concern, with a legislative response proposed.
Kentucky authorities have launched an investigation after racist Ku Klux Klan (KKK) flyers telling immigrants to “leave now” surfaced in multiple cities.
"The KPD has notified the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Tennessee Fusion Center regarding the presence of the flyers in Knoxville, while the department is actively working to determine the origins of the flyers," KPD said in a statement.
SPD said it is working with nearby agencies who have reported similar incidents to identify the source of the posters.
