Political Controversy Erupts in Frisco Over Anti-Indian Comments
A significant political row has broken out in Frisco, Texas, following inflammatory remarks by conservative commentator Kaylee Campbell regarding the local Indian American community. The controversy has escalated with the Indian American Advocacy Council (IAAC) threatening legal and civil rights action against what they describe as targeted intimidation and racism.
Commentator's Controversial Claims on Social Media
Kaylee Campbell, a right-wing political commentator, made the remarks on X while responding to a post by the Indian American Advocacy Council. She claimed her statement was based on feedback from local Frisco residents who expressed frustration with Indian communities in the area.
"Don't take it from me, take it from the thousands of Frisco residents and others in the surrounding area who are sick of it," Campbell stated in her social media post.
She made several specific allegations against Indian communities, including claims about improper trash disposal in fields, unsanitary housing conditions, and alleged abuse of existing laws. Campbell further suggested that some Indian residents have not assimilated into American culture and should leave the United States.
Indian American Advocacy Council's Strong Response
The Indian American Advocacy Council issued a strong condemnation of what they termed "xenophobic and racially charged rhetoric" being promoted ahead of a scheduled Frisco City Council meeting on February 3, 2026.
"Labeling legal residents and taxpayers as an 'Indian takeover' is not 'community concern.' It is open racism and targeted intimidation," the organization stated in their response.
The IAAC announced they are documenting all statements and individuals involved in the controversy and are prepared to pursue formal complaints, public exposure, and coordination with relevant civil rights partners to address the situation.
Background of the Controversy
The current dispute stems from an earlier video by Campbell in which she claimed a whistleblower had revealed an "Indian takeover" underway in Frisco. She alleged that the city's mayor was being funded by Indian donors, though she provided no evidence to support this claim.
Campbell had previously made allegations about H-1B visa fraud in Texas, claiming that a single Indian-origin attorney had approved more than 700,000 applications. She also referenced multiple visa addresses being shown at single locations without corresponding office buildings.
Whistleblower's Involvement
Campbell quoted Mark Palasciano, a former T-Mobile employee who describes himself as a whistleblower, praising him for calling out what he termed a "massive takeover." Palasciano claimed to have left a high-paying career to expose corporate wrongdoing.
"I'm a 42-year-old lifelong Texan who walked away from my $200,000 career, so I could expose how corporations are destroying America from within," Palasciano stated in a video posted on X.
Palasciano had alleged that H-1B visas taking jobs in the United States represents just one aspect of what he described as a broader "Indian takeover" of Frisco, though he provided no concrete evidence to support these claims.
Broader Implications and Community Impact
The controversy has highlighted growing tensions in Frisco, Texas, which has seen significant demographic changes in recent years. The Indian American community has become increasingly visible and influential in the area, leading to both cultural enrichment and occasional friction.
Legal experts suggest that the IAAC's threatened actions could have significant implications for how hate speech and racial targeting are addressed in community settings. The organization's documentation efforts and coordination with civil rights partners indicate a serious approach to combating what they perceive as discriminatory rhetoric.
The scheduled Frisco City Council meeting on February 3, 2026, is expected to address these concerns, with community members from both sides likely to voice their perspectives on the matter.
