American journalist Matt Forney posted on X, now deleted, calling for the mass deportation of Indians from the US by 2026, warning of potential violence against Indian-origin people and Hindu temples. Forney claimed "Indian hatred" would reach a "boiling point," leading to vandalism and attacks, which he suggested would be covered up by media. His remarks, framed as a preventative measure for peace, drew widespread criticism, with many users interpreting them as veiled threats and a call for ethnic cleansing. Forney has a history of anti-immigrant rhetoric.
