Florida politician Chandler Langevin was censured Saturday by city council for inflammatory social media posts calling for mass deportation of Indians from the US. The censure requires council consensus before agenda items, removes him from committees, and bars commissioner comments. Langevin wrote "There's not a single Indian that cares about the United States" and called Indians exploiters enriching themselves at America's expense. He requested Trump revoke all Indian visas as a "birthday wish" and claimed Indians "don't assimilate" but "drain our pockets." After backlash, he clarified remarks targeted temporary visa holders, not Indian Americans. Multiple Indian American groups demanded his resignation. Langevin called the censure a free speech violation.
