Homophobic and anti-migrant texts target Latinos and LGBTQ+ Americans
Briefly

The FBI reports a rise in racist text messages targeting Black individuals, now expanded to Hispanic communities and LGBTQ+ individuals, highlighting an alarming increase in hate.
Recipients include high school students receiving messages of deportation or attending re-education camps, indicating a deeply disturbing trend following Trump's election.
NAACP condemned the messages as a reflection of hate emboldened by a presidency that historically has embraced such rhetoric, according to President Derrick Johnson.
Trump's campaign denies any association with the texts, while the FBI collaborates with federal authorities to investigate the messages.
