The signs were created by a self-proclaimed "street artist" who goes by the name of "Sabo."

The Trump-supporting artist revealed to 9News that he has been contacted by Denver Police, who are investigating the signs he has posted as a possible "bias-motivated crime."

Sabo stirred controversy this week when posted signs using the ethnic slur, “Kamala’s Illegals" that also claimed that “Blacks Must Sit At The Back Of The Bus. Kamala’s Migrants Sit In The Front.”

The signs are painted to appear as if they are actual street signs like a crossing sign or simply a black and white sign.

[...]

“If a civil war breaks out and the f------ Guatemalans and Ecuadorians are like coming over the fence and stuff like that, it is straight up target practice,” Sabo said in his YouTube live stream.

[...]

On Facebook, he posted: "I saw Black observers shocked when they saw this."
