The United States Department of Homeland Security is under scrutiny following a controversial post on X that featured an AI-generated image targeting individuals of Indian descent. The graphic depicted a brown man alongside the Transformers character Optimus Prime, accompanied by xenophobic slogans such as "America for Americans" and derogatory remarks regarding driving abilities directed at a character named "Mr. Singh." Critics, including Indian diaspora organizations and political figures, have condemned the content as racist. The imagery appeared to reference a recent incident involving an Indian-origin truck driver involved in a fatal accident in Florida. The post, which garnered millions of views, was shared as a reply to the department's own video content, prompting widespread accusations of promoting anti-Indian sentiment.
