FBI Probes Wave of Vile ‘Slave’ Texts in Austin, Citizens in Terror as Racist Threats Flood Phones

The FBI has opened an investigation into a string of racist text messages surfacing in Austin, with reports of these texts showing up in various other states as well. These messages, which began circulating the day after the election, according to

KVUE

, contain distressing language that recalls the darkest periods of American history, informing recipients they have been selected for enslavement by a “Trump representative.”

Erroneously labeled as “Slave Group B” or threatened with deportation, these texts have sparked fear and confusion among residents. One message warned of an approaching white van to transport the selected individual to their “nearest plantation.” As detailed in an interview with

KXAN

, Sharon Herring expressed her shock and fear when her 13-year-old granddaughter received such a text: “When she sent that text to me I was terrified,” said Herring. “I was like ‘Oh my God.’ I couldn’t understand why somebody would send that.”

The disturbing nature of these messages extends beyond their content to the potential breach of privacy and security that they represent. Schools are also being affected. Austin Independent School District teacher Shaun Hinton, during a routine check with his students, learned that one of them received a text threatening deportation. This particular message detailed a “brown van” and assigned the student to “deportation group A3,” as Hinton informed

.

Anyone who receives such a text is advised to immediately report it to the FBI or local law enforcement, offering a direct line of communication for those who have been targeted. Amidst this turmoil, the importance of monitoring children’s phone and internet activity is underscored, a sentiment echoed by Herring in her interview with

KXAN

, “Parents [need] to be more aware of our children’s phone and social media apps that they’re on. Just to monitor your children close because you never know if this type of thing can happen again,” she said.
