Letter with Nazi symbol, MAGA message received by LA business investigated as hate incident

Mail inscribed with a large swastika and anti-Semitic, racist and homophobic language was sent to a Jewish business in Los Angeles and others in New York City, authorities said Thursday.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s hate crime coordinator received information about the letter Thursday and was working with the FBI and the New York Police Department, said Detective Ross Nemeroff of the LAPD’s media relations office.

Since Friday there have been reports of at least four letters with no return address sent to businesses in L.A., Brooklyn and Manhattan, the Anti-Defamation League reported Wednesday.




Each piece of mail, which the ADL called letters, had the same imagery of the Nazi symbol with the racial and anti-gay slurs underneath. The letters also read “Make America Great Again!!!,” “Juden Raus,” and “Christian Identity Is Back.”

Juden Raus is translated as “Jews Out.”
