Bigoted flyers allegedly posted by members of a Ku Klux Klan group warned immigrants in Kentucky and other states to "leave now" in order to "avoid deportation."

The flyer was posted in Ludlow, Kentucky, on January 20 — both Donald Trump’s inauguration day and the Martin Luther King Jr holiday — and its authors claim connection with the KKK. After the flyer caused a stir locally, police in Ludlow took to Facebook to issue a message that the flyer had been taken down.

"After some discussion we have decided to take down the flyer because it serves no real purpose, but we will keep this post up. We are aware and have already taken one report for this disturbing and disgusting propaganda that is being passed around our community," the department said in the Facebook post. "This hateful garbage has been turning up in other cities as well."

The department went on to say that it does not "support or condone this type of behavior" and that anyone who feels harassed or threatened should call and file a police report. Officials in Fort Wright and Bellevue, Kentucky both confirmed that they had received reports of the same flyer.
