Krishnamoorthi Denounces Trump Administration’s Racist “Get Off Our Roads, Mr. Singh” Tweet

September 10, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi issued the following statement condemning an official Department of Homeland Security social media post that depicted a man labeled “Mr. Singh” in a Transformers -style deportation graphic, told him to “get off our roads,” and warned him to “self-deport or find out”: “Our government should never use its power to demonize people or suggest that their faith, heritage, or identity means they do not belong here. Yet in an official social media post styled as a movie poster, the Trump Department of Homeland Security depicted a man labeled “Mr. Singh” as the villain, told him to “get off our roads,” and warned him to “self-deport or find out.” More than 160,000 people in the United States share the surname Singh. When the government demonizes a name carried by so many Sikh families, it fuels xenophobia and casts suspicion on an entire community. Sikh and South Asian Americans are as American as anyone. This is our country and our home, and there should be no room for hate here.”
