The post, tied to a real-life fatal accident involving a trucker named Harjinder Singh, was swiftly deleted but not before igniting national condemnation from elected officials and nominees, especially as 9/11 anniversary looms. They reminded America that “Singh” is a proud Sikh name symbolizing equality, and that Sikhs have long served their country with honor — and that their faith demands standing against injustice. Even Hasbro stepped in, calling the posts unauthorized and unrepresentative of their brand. While the offensive post is gone, another AI image promoting “Transformers Age of Deportation” still lingers on DHS’s X page — raising alarms about government use of AI for divisive messaging and whether this is just the tip of the iceberg.
