KKK-Style Protest Mars Caucus at Las Vegas Site

One had a sign saying "Trump speaks 4 me" and "Trump 2016. Make America great again."

Two people wearing Ku Klux Klan outfits and carrying handwritten signs supporting Donald Trump were asked to leave a sidewalk outside a Las Vegas school caucus site, authorities said. 

Las Vegas police Officer Jesse Roybal said no arrests were made after officers responded to complaints Tuesday at Cimarron-Memorial High School.

Roybal said callers characterized the clothing worn as "KKK-style attire."

Nevada university Regent Allison Stephens was among black elected officials exchanging social media photos showing the protesters wearing cone-shaped white hoods and white robes.

One had a sign saying "Trump speaks 4 me" and "Trump 2016. Make America great again."

The other had a sign referring to "President Trump."

Stephens said a police officer at the site told her people dressed like the Klan had been there, but left.
