TRENTON, Mich. – Several fliers promoting the Ku Klux Klan have been found on the lawns of homes in Trenton.
Residents say they found the fliers posted on their front lawn or mailboxes, but many say they’re unwanted invitations.
The white, small rectangular fliers had "Loyal White Knights, Ku Klux Klan wants you!” followed by a website for the hate group and a national hotline number.
The residents who found the flies took them directly to the police department.
“As soon as I grabbed it, I went straight to the police department. I don’t mess around with this crap.” a homeowner in the area told Local 4.
Young mothers and working families in the neighborhood said this is the exact kind of trouble they do not want in their quiet neighborhood.
“This isn’t necessarily something we want happening in our neighborhood. It creeps me out” another resident told Local 4.
The white supremacist group, who seeks to terrorize African Americans, are notorious for stirring up trouble in communities.
Some of the flyers on the block also targeted people in the gay, Jewish and Catholic communities.
Police say there isn’t much they can do, but residents say they will keep an eye out for the person or group who is leaving these messages at night.
