The F.B.I. is investigating messages that told people they would be deported or transported to a “re-education camp.” They came after racist texts were sent to Black people.

The FBI says reports are growing of racist and offensive text messages sent from anonymous phone numbers to high school students, Latinos and members of the LGBTQ community. It comes as the agency began investigating offensive messages sent to Black Americans last week.

The announcement comes days after African American students received similar messages stating they’d been selected to "pick cotton."

The FBI issued a statement Friday saying racist and threatening text messages sent to Black communities after the presidential election are also circulating in Hispanic and LGBTQ+ communities and reaching high school students.

Federal authorities provided an update on the series of racist text messages that were sent to Black college and high school students in the days after the election, which included messages about being "selected to pick cotton at the nearest plantation.

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation said on Friday that a spate of offensive text messages sent out in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential election win and apparently aimed at Black Americans had expanded to target Hispanic and LGBTQ people.
