(KUTV) — A banner for an alleged white nationalist group was seen hanging on an overpass on Interstate 215 Monday morning.
The Patriot Front banner with the words "Reclaim America" was placed near 1300 East facing the eastbound lanes on the interstate.
Patriot Front is a white nationalist hate group that broke off the Vanguard American, a neo-Nazi group, in the aftermath of the deadly "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia on Aug. 12, 2017, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
It's unknown who exactly put the sign on the overpass in Utah.
John Gleason with Utah Department of Transportation said crews will take it down as they have done with similar banners or posters in the past.
2News Reporter Kelly Vaughen is diving deeper into the sign's origins and will have a full report at 5 p.m.
