PITTSBURGH (AP) - A Mexican grocery store in Pittsburgh has again been targeted with anti-immigrant graffiti.

The first time Las Palmas was vandalized in December, some local high school students painted over the graffiti phrase “Go back to Mexico” with a mural.

Now police say someone vandalized the mural, sometime overnight Wednesday into Thursday.

The spray-painted words included “Illegal Trespassers,” ’’Liars,” and “America Haters.”

The manager of the store says he doesn’t know what to say, and that the store’s employees don’t know what to do.

Mayor Bill Peduto says the vandalism won’t be tolerated and has called on people to support the grocery by shopping there.

Police say they don’t have any suspects.
