It appears to be against transgender and transgender bathrooms and it was basically a recruitment flier. --Capt. Will Benny, Dothan Criminal Investigation Division

Benny said there was actually no crime committed in the distribution of the flier, which he said also solicited donations from the public. Benny said the KKK flier and report were forwarded to the FBI as intelligence information.
What you’re dealing with is potentially implications of a hate crime or promoting a hate crime, so we notified the FBI. --Dothan Police Chief Steve Parish

Obviously any time you get hate-related material there’s a reason to be cautious and to investigate it. --Capt. Stacy Robinson

The flier calls transgender people an “abomination” according to the King James Bible. The flier also quotes Deuteronomy 22:5, “A woman shall not wear that pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment. For all that do are an abomination unto the Lord thy God.”
The flier also suggests transgender people are jeopardizing the safety of women and children as they use restrooms across the nation.
The flier also lists a hotline phone number for people to call and a website for people to make donations. The flier is signed "The Loyal White Knights of the KKK" just before it lists the website.
It is reported that a similar flyer was distributed in midtown Mobile last week.
