Syracuse, New York, December 31, 2025: An American journalist and right-wing activist, Matt Forney, warned of violent attacks against Indian-origin people in the United States and Hindu temples in 2026, while calling for the mass deportation of Indians from the country, according to a now-deleted post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
In the post, Forney claimed that what he described as “Indian hatred” in the U.S. would reach a “boiling point” next year, resulting in widespread violence.
“Indians will be racially singled out for violence, Indian-owned businesses will be vandalized, Hindu temples will be hit with bombings and mass shootings,” he wrote.
Forney further alleged that the perpetrators of such attacks would not be white Americans but members of minority communities, and claimed that the media would suppress coverage of such crimes.
“The media [will] cover up hate crimes they would otherwise eagerly blame on MAGA and Trump,” he wrote.
Presenting deportation as a measure to prevent violence, Forney added: “As someone who wants peace in America, I deplore all violence, and there is only one way to stop it. For their own safety, we must DEI: Deport Every Indian.”
The post drew widespread criticism online, with several users accusing Forney of issuing a veiled threat rather than condemning violence. One user responded that the internet “is forever” and questioned whether Forney was attempting to justify the coercive removal of Indians from the U.S. under the guise of concern for their safety.
