The Indian American Advocacy Council (IACC) has contacted the FBI due to a rise in online threats and hate speech targeting Indians in the U.S. Amidst stricter immigration policies and proposed H-1B visa fee hikes, social media content has included calls for Indians to leave and accusations of job theft. The IACC highlighted that some posts advocate for mass violence, deeming the rhetoric dangerous incitement that puts real people at risk and urging intervention from platforms and law enforcement.
