Indian-American lawmakers, led by Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, demand a briefing from the Department of Justice (DOJ) on its strategy regarding hate crimes against Hindus in the US. The letter, signed by members of the Samosa Caucus, highlights a surge in incidents of vandalism at Hindu temples nationwide. Urging DOJ's Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for clarity, they emphasize the need for coordinated investigations and federal oversight.
