Krishnamoorthi Denounces Anti-Indian Hate Speech by Florida Official, Calls for Unity Against Hate and the Climate of Fear Fueled by Trump’s Mass ICE Raids

SCHAUMBURG, IL – Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi condemned recent remarks by Palm Bay, Florida, City Council Member Chandler Langevin calling for the mass removal of Indian immigrants:

“It’s unacceptable—and dangerous—that in 2025 we’re hearing elected officials call for the mass removal of Indian Americans. This rhetoric echoes the cruelty of Donald Trump’s mass ICE raids and fuels a climate of fear that harms families across our nation.

When hate speech is normalized and communities are scapegoated, our democracy is weakened.

We must stand together across every community against all forms of hate. Protecting our democracy means ensuring everyone can live free from fear and discrimination, no matter their skin color, accent, or country of origin.”
