US Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi condemned Florida politician Chandler Langevin's calls for mass deportation of Indians, stating such rhetoric "echoes the cruelty of Donald Trump's mass ICE raids." Krishnamoorthi warned that normalizing hate speech and scapegoating communities weakens democracy, urging leaders to protect all Americans regardless of race, accent, or origin. Langevin, a Palm Bay city council member, posted on X demanding Trump "revoke every Indian visa and deport them immediately" as a birthday wish, claiming Indians "exploit us financially." He wrote "There's not a single Indian that cares about the United States." The comments sparked criticism from civil rights groups and the Indian American community amid Trump's ongoing immigration crackdown.
