Racist and anti-LGBTQ+ texts target Americans across US, including teens

FBI investigating anti-migrant and anti-gay texts that follow messages sent to Black people after Trump election win

Racist text messages targeting Black people across the US just hours after Donald Trump won a second presidency have now expanded to the Hispanic communities - and homophobic versions have been aimed at LGBTQ+ people, the FBI said on Friday.

Authorities say they are investigating the messages - which now include emails - and that they have not received reports of violent acts stemming from the hateful messages.
