FBI Investigates Racist Text Messages Nationwide

The FBI has issued a warning regarding a disturbing surge of racist and offensive text messages that have expanded to target Latin American and LGBTQ+ communities, in addition to African Americans. Recipients have reported messages claiming they have been 'selected' for deportation or to attend re-education camps, while Black Americans have received threats to report to plantations for work. The escalation of these messages has prompted the FBI to investigate, collaborating with the Justice Department and local law enforcement. Although no violent acts have been linked to these messages, officials are urging individuals to remain vigilant and report such incidents. The messages are reportedly being sent from untraceable numbers and have reached various regions across the U.S., causing significant alarm within affected communities. The FBI is actively sharing information with educational institutions and community leaders to address this crisis.
