Indian Creator Leaves U.S., Citing Racist Threats and Doxxing Fears

She says online harassment tied to ICE intimidation forced the move despite her legal artist visa.

Overview

  • Tanvi Jhansi Rajgarhia announced in early November that she left New York and has relocated to India, with her Instagram video circulating widely.
  • Since January she had posted political-comedy sketches about U.S. politics that built an audience as hostility also grew.
  • She reports racist and violent messages, users tagging U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on her posts, and comments calling to deport her.
  • Although she held an artist visa, she describes constant fear as a 4'11" Brown immigrant woman, including anxiety at police sightings or late-night knocks.
  • She says an attempted doxxing was the final catalyst for leaving, and outlets report no official investigation or legal action at this time.
