Frank Ancona and other members of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan wanted to distribute information on the sidewalks and streets of the City of Desloge on Oct. 27 and Nov. 3, 2012. They learned that a city ordinance prohibits this distribution and cancelled the organization's plans. Ancona filed a suit because this ordinance violates the First Amendment. A consent judgement was entered on March 19, 2013. However, a second case was opened and a court order was entered on Aug. 22, 2013. A preliminary injunction was entered on Oct. 1, 2013.
