Frisco, TX, February 24, 2026: A political and social media controversy has erupted in North Texas after conservative influencer Kaylee Campbell amplified allegations at a recent Frisco City Council meeting claiming that some Indian-origin residents were improperly subleasing apartments in Frisco and neighboring Plano.
Campbell shared a video clip from a public comment session at the Frisco City Council in which a speaker identified in media reports as “Kelly,” who described herself as a former assistant property manager, alleged that certain tenants were informally transferring leases within community networks. The speaker claimed that some renters returned to India while allowing others to take over their apartments without going through standard screening procedures. Additional allegations mentioned at the meeting included overcrowding and falsified documentation.
No documentary evidence was presented during the public comment session itself, according to published accounts, and the allegations were made by a private citizen during the open-microphone portion of the meeting. City officials have not publicly announced any investigation tied to the claims, and no enforcement data has been released indicating widespread violations linked to a specific ethnic group.
The dispute comes amid rapid demographic growth in Collin County, where Frisco is located. According to recent U.S. Census estimates, Asians account for more than one-fifth of the county’s population, with Indian Americans representing a significant portion of that growth. Over the past decade, Frisco and Plano have attracted technology professionals and corporate relocations, contributing to increased housing demand in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.
Housing experts note that unauthorized subleasing and lease-transfer violations, when they occur, are typically handled by property management companies under existing lease agreements and local ordinances. Such violations are not unique to any one community and are generally addressed through civil enforcement mechanisms rather than criminal proceedings.
As of this week, the issue appears to remain a matter of political and online debate rather than formal municipal action. City officials have not announced any policy changes in response to the public comments, and no official findings have been released substantiating the allegations raised at the council meeting.
