Reporting from certain media outlets and messaging from the Trump Administration are treating a series of individual tragic traffic accidents as evidence of a coordinated, nationwide threat posed by immigrant and Sikh truckers. Here are some of the harmful myths being pushed:

We stand with the Muslim community in Utah and nationwide in the face of this heinous attack. No one should be targeted due to their faith, and the perpetrator's clear statements about bias make it clear that this attack should be charged as a hate crime. abcnews.com/US/wireStory...

Muslim man in Utah was targeted in stabbing because of his religion, police say

A Utah man told police he repeatedly stabbed a Muslim man because of the man's faith and intended to kill him

The Indian government has banned the highly-anticipated film "Satluj," about the life of human rights activist Bhai Jaswant Singh Khalra. The Sikh Coalition joins Sikhs and audiences worldwide in condemning this censorship as a flagrant denial of our community's freedom of expression.

DHS and ICE have shown that they cannot be trusted to communicate reliable accounts or conduct real investigations of killings by their officers. We stand with the family and community of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in calling for an independent investigation of his death. apnews.com/article/ice-...
