A shocking $100,000 H-1B visa fee announced by US President Donald Trump triggered panic among Indian tech workers abroad. As many scrambled to book flights back to the United States, far-right trolls on 4chan and Telegram launched a coordinated campaign called "Clog the Toilet." The operation targeted India-US routes by holding flight seats without purchasing, blocking availability, and inflating fares. Airlines like Air India reported no official disruptions, but travellers faced repeated crashes and soaring prices. Experts say the episode highlights the dangerous mix of online extremism, immigration politics, and digital sabotage.
