(AP) -- A Ku Klux Klan rally is planned for this small southeast Georgia city, and the mayor is urging people to go about their business. 

The Knight Riders of the Ku Klux Klan has a permit for a rally in Nahunta, about 35 miles east of Brunswick in Brantley County, from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday. 

City officials say the Klan group says it will focus its rally on illegal immigration and sex offenders. 

City clerk Angela Wirth told The Associated Press the Klan organization's grand dragon says he's expecting a turnout of about 100. She says she's expecting the Klan to make its presentation and leave.

Wirth says that until now there has never been a Klan rally in the city.
