Jackson, Miss – U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst issued the following statement in response to
nooses and hate signs found this morning outside the Mississippi State Capitol:
“With our law enforcement partners, we are actively looking into these acts of hate and
intimidation. Let me be perfectly clear – there is absolutely no place in our state for these
unacceptable symbols or tactics to intimidate others. If we find evidence beyond a reasonable
doubt that a federal crime has occurred, these criminals will be swiftly prosecuted and held
accountable. Let us all respond to these despicable acts by voting, working, raising our families,
practicing our faith, and pursuing the American dream here in our great state without fear or
trepidation and in harmony with our fellow citizens.”
