A sign calling for the return of racial segregation laws was spotted over — and quickly removed from — Interstate 25 in Denver on Sunday.

Denver officers removed two banners hanging from a pedestrian bridge over I-25 near 16th and Central streets at about 7 a.m. Sunday, a spokesperson for the police department said.

According to Fox31, which first reported the signs , one read “Bring back Jim Crow.” Another said “Justice for Iryna Zarutska,” referring to the Ukrainian refugee stabbed to death on a North Carolina commuter train last month.

The department declined to confirm the slogans on the banners. As of Tuesday, no suspects had been publicly identified.

Anyone with information about the signs is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867, police said.
