Overview

• The Palm Bay City Council voted 3–2 to censure Langevin and restricted his role, requiring consensus to place agenda items, barring him from commissioner comments, and removing him from committees.
• Langevin’s posts included calls to deport Indians and claims that Indians “exploit” the United States; he later said he was referring to temporary visa holders.
• He refused to apologize or resign and says he will sue, framing the council’s actions as First Amendment retaliation.
• Residents and Indian American advocacy groups pressed for his ouster, and the council previously asked Governor Ron DeSantis to suspend him under state authority, with no public action from the governor’s office.
• Several Republican figures and the Brevard County GOP distanced themselves from his remarks, while Mayor Rob Medina emphasized the city’s immigrant roots during the censure meeting.
