A MAGA influencer targeted children of H-1B visa holders outside a Hindu temple, sparking a heated debate on Independence Day. The incident occurred as families gathered for celebrations, drawing criticism from community leaders.

The influencer, known for anti-immigration rhetoric, filmed the confrontation and posted it online, accusing the families of exploiting the visa system. The video quickly went viral, prompting backlash from advocacy groups.

Community members condemned the act as xenophobic and called for unity. Local authorities are reviewing the incident for potential hate speech violations.
