MAGA street artist claims to be responsible for racist and anti-immigrant signs in Chicago and Denver area
The artist is using Facebook to sell the hateful signs

MAGA street artist Sabo — who previously made news by posting right-wing, hateful, and conspiratorial signs across Los Angeles — claims he is responsible for posting racist and anti-immigrant signs at bus stops across both Chicago and the Denver metro area. As Coloradan officials denounce the signs, Sabo is trying to sell them on Facebook for thousands of dollars.
On August 29, The Denver Post reported that a bus driver saw hateful signs at a stop near the intersection of Colfax Avenue and Oneida Street in Denver, noting that “RTD officials said the metal sign was attached to the bus stop’s pole with rivets and appears to have been installed shortly before it was reported.”
Additional signs were discovered at other bus routes along Colfax Avenue. Local and state officials have since denounced the signs.
That same day, right-wing street artist Sabo — who operates an online gallery, “Unsavoryagents,” with a P.O. box in Aurora, Colorado — posted images on Facebook of the signs across the Denver metro area, including one on Colfax Avenue.
Sabo also took credit for similar signs that were found in Chicago during the Democratic National Convention, posting a picture of a sign on X (formerly Twitter).
Sabo later posted pictures of some of the signs on Facebook, saying that he “put a few up in Chicago during the DNC” and trying to sell them for $2,000 each. (His Facebook page was previously shut down for hate speech, days after he attacked Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg with disparaging posters in 2017.)
Sabo also described hanging the signs in Chicago during a YouTube livestream on August 25.
