KKK fliers go out after Trump anti-immigrant orders: 'Leave now' and 'avoid deportation'
At least one Ku Klux Klan chapter reportedly began distributing fliers to immigrants following President Donald Trump's inauguration.
After Trump signed executive orders designed to enable mass deportations, the Ludlow Police Department in Kentucky said that KKK fliers encouraged immigrants to begin leaving the country to avoid the new measures.
"Leave Now. Avoid Deportation," the headline of one flier said, according to The Enquirer. Reports were made of similar fliers seen in at least two other states.
"We are aware and have already taken one report for this disturbing and disgusting propaganda that is being passed around our community," Ludlow Police said in a Facebook post. "This hateful garbage has been turning up in other cities as well."
The Bellevue Kentucky Police Department said that little could be done about the fliers.

"As disgusting as they are, currently the only criminal violation is littering and illegal posting of signage," the department noted on Facebook.
However, Ludlow officials vowed to seek criminal charges if suspects could be identified.
