I\u2019m praying for his full recovery and grateful to the family whose quick actions helped save his life.\n\n\u201cLaw enforcement has not identified a motive, but we cannot ignore the troubling rise in hate and rhetoric targeting Sikh and South Asian Americans across our nation. Just days before this attack, the Department of Homeland Security posted a racist caricature of a Sikh truck driver telling \u2018Mr. Singh\u2019 to \u2018get off our roads\u2019 and \u2018self-deport or find out.\u2019\n\n\u201cRhetoric from the highest levels of our government carries weight. When administration officials use the power and platform of the federal government to single out Sikh identity and portray an entire community as dangerous, unwanted, or less American, they fan the flames of hate and reinforce stereotypes that can have real-life consequences for Sikh Americans and the broader South Asian community.\n\n\u201cViolence and hate against Sikh Americans, South Asian Americans, or any community must be unequivocally condemned. Sacramento stands with Mr. Singh and the Sikh community.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-19T09:11:33Z", "2026-09-19T09:12:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bera.house.gov/news/press-releases/rep-bera-condemns-brutal-stabbing-of-sikh-truck-driver-from-sacramento"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.479641068726778, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
