Kentucky authorities have launched an investigation after racist Ku Klux Klan (KKK) flyers telling immigrants to "leave now" surfaced in multiple cities.

Ku Klux Klan leaflets found in northern Kentucky Tuesday warning immigrants to leave now to avoid deportation have prompted local police to contact the FBI. Local police and a mayor called the leaflets hateful garbage.

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.
