Street artist Sabo cited for anti-migrant signs posted around Denver in March
A street artist was cited for violating Denver municipal code after police say he illegally posted signs with phrases like “Migrant hookers” and “Caution Undocumented Democrats” around the city in March.
The Denver Police Department is still investigating similar signs posted around the city on Aug. 29, which targeted Vice President Kamala Harris, included phrases like “Blacks must sit at the back of the bus. Kamala’s migrants sit in the front” and drew condemnation from state and local officials.
No one has been cited or arrested in that case, department officials said Tuesday.
Denver police cited 56-year-old Christopher Balli, also known as “Sabo,” on Thursday on suspicion of violating city code related to posting signs on public or private property. People cited under the statute are “liable for the cost of removal,” according to Denver city code.
The signs posted March 22 were found near West 12th Avenue and North Acoma Streets; West Colfax Avenue and North Broadway; and the 1400 block of Grant Street.
Denver Police Department’s Bias-Motivated Crime Unit also investigated the case, but the Denver District Attorney’s Office determined the case did not meet the criteria for a bias-motivated crime and the case was referred to the Denver City Attorney’s Office, according to the department.
Balli posted a copy of the citation on his Instagram on Thursday and previously shared photos of the street signs posted in March and August.

DENVER (AP) — A Frontier Airlines plane hit a pedestrian on the runway of the Denver International Airport during takeoff, airport authorities said, sparking an engine fire and forcing passengers to evacuate.
The plane, on route from Denver to Los Angeles International Airport, “reported striking a pedestrian during takeoff at DEN at approximately 11:19 p.m. on Friday,” the airport’s official X account wrote.
Neither the airport nor the airline has disclosed the pedestrian’s condition.
“We’re stopping on the runway,” the pilot tells the control tower according to the site ATC.com. “We just hit somebody. We have an engine fire.”
The pilot tells the air traffic controller they have “231 souls” on board and that and “individual was walking across the runway.”
The air traffic controller responds that they are “rolling the trucks now” before the pilot tells the tower they “have smoke in the aircraft. We are going to evacuate on the runway.”
Frontier Airlines said in a statement flight 4345 was the one involved in the collision and that “smoke was reported in the cabin and the pilots aborted takeoff.” It was not clear whether the smoke was linked to the crash with the pedestrian.
“The Airbus A321 was carrying 224 passengers and seven crew members,” the airline said. “We are investigating this incident and gathering more information in coordination with the airport and other safety authorities.”
Passengers were then evacuated via slides and the emergency crew bused them to the terminal.
Denver Airport said the National Transportation Safety Board had been notified and that runway 17L, where the incident took place, will remain closed while an investigation is conducted.
