The FBI has reported a surge in offensive and racist text messages targeting Hispanic and LGBTQ communities, following an earlier wave aimed at Black Americans. These messages, which include threats of deportation or being sent to re-education camps, have drawn widespread condemnation and are under investigation by federal and state authorities. Originating shortly after Donald Trump's election win, the initial texts contained derogatory references to slavery, claiming recipients were selected to 'pick cotton.' Recipients have included high school and college students from various cities across the U.S. The FBI is collaborating with the Justice Department on the matter and urges anyone receiving such messages to report them. No violent incidents have been linked to these texts so far, but authorities are taking the situation seriously as they evaluate the reports.
