Boxes Scrawled With 'Take Back America' Left On Family's Driveway

KOYLTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WWJ/AP) - Authorities in Michigan's Thumb region are investigating a possible case of ethnic intimidation after stacked and taped-together cardboard boxes covered with the words "Trump" and "take back America" were left on a family's driveway.

Vulgar graffiti was spray-painted on the driveway and a phrase disparaging Mexicans was painted on the boxes reports MLive.  A doll made of balloons was hanging nearby.

One of the family members in the Koylton Township home is Hispanic.

Tuscola County sheriff's officials say the boxes were discovered Saturday and called the incident "a crime."

Trump campaigned against illegal immigration and proposed building a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.

Numerous incidents of threats, intimidation and racially charged violence have been reported around the country following his victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.

In Michigan alone - several racially and ethnically charged incidents captured the attention of the nation -middle school students at one suburban Detroit school were caught on video chanting 'Build A Wall' — a video which went viral in the days following the election.

A Muslim student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor allegedly was threatened by a man who told her to remove her hijab or he would set it on fire.

A hijab is a headscarf worn by some Muslim women. The crime alert said the woman took off her hijab and left the area.

Michigan State University created a 'healing space' for students to share fears and anxieties surrounding a Trump presidency.
