Summary

Hispanic and LGBTQ communities have been targeted with disturbing anonymous text messages threatening deportation or “re-education camps,” escalating fear and uncertainty.

Latino students in Georgia received texts about deportation, while a lesbian entrepreneur in Nevada was told to report to a camp promoting conversion therapy.

Authorities, including ICE and the FBI, confirmed the messages are hoaxes, but fear of reporting persists among immigrant families.

These messages have instilled fear and uncertainty, especially among immigrant families, but advocates are urging victims to report incidents to trusted officials or community leaders to combat the harassment.

    The fascist furvor continues. Republican voters are all claiming it’s a hoax. They don’t even need to be told by anyone it is. They’re fully trained to believe that violence against minorities isn’t possible. It’s always a conspiracy to make wealthy white heterosexual men look bad. Always.

    If you feel like experiencing the sinking crawling feeling in your gut that is realizing you are surrounded on all sides by indoctrinated fascists, read a Fox news comment section.

      I had a family member who was quite upset by people calling maga Nazis recently… I just thought, stop acting like them and you won’t get compared to them.
