It's hard to see at first, but once spotted, it's hard not to look. A rope with what appeared to be a noose at the end was seen hanging from a tree. Two Ks were also on the tree.

The symbols were found recently, and residents said they want to know how they got there.

"Somebody has to be held accountable. We have a multitude of races and ethnic backgrounds of people, and somebody needs to do something," Delafosse-Brooks said.

Her family runs one of the only black farms in Plaquemines.

The rope appeared just behind a trailer park where many Latino farmworkers live.

"It's offensive to all other races. Not just African-Americans, but to everybody," Delafosse Brooks said.

Not far from where the rope was hanging, there was another message. "White power" was written on the side of a levee.

A representative for the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office said they were made aware of the situation Monday.

Pictures were taken, and an investigation began. Deputies have also been in touch with the FBI.
