Overview

• Flyers allegedly distributed by the Ku Klux Klan were found in several northern Kentucky cities, including Ludlow, Bellevue, and Fort Wright.
• The flyers feature racist imagery and messages urging immigrants to 'leave now' to avoid deportation, referencing President Trump's mass deportation promises.
• Local officials and police departments condemned the flyers as hateful and vowed to pursue criminal charges if distributors are identified.
• The flyers were reportedly distributed on Inauguration Day, coinciding with Trump signing an executive order to end birthright citizenship and pledging the largest deportation campaign in U.S. history.
• Similar flyers have been reported in other states, including Indiana and Ohio, as part of past KKK recruitment efforts.
