East Tennessee residents along the I-75 corridor between Chattanooga and Knoxville last week reported finding flyers along roads instructing immigrants to "self-deport" and recruiting "white protestants" to the Ku Klux Klan, reports the Chattanooga Times-Free Press. Chattanooga leaders and immigrants' rights groups released statements condemning the flyers and their message, with city council member Demetrus Coonrod saying, "These documents, steeped in racism and xenophobia, strike at the very heart of what we hold dear in our diverse communities." A Kentucky man identified himself as the leader of the group distributing the flyers, telling the news outlet that his group has been distributing similar materials in other states as part of a recruiting push.
