Laura Loomer, a far-right activist and political influencer famous for her social media presence, is an outspoken and close supporter of Donald Trump. Despite no official role with his administration, she recently shared a video of children arriving in the country from Gaza for treatment, saying they were “Islamic invaders” coming to America.
“Why are any Islamic invaders coming into the US under the Trump admin?” Loomer wrote alongside the video shared on X, while calling them a “national security threat.” “We didn’t vote for more Islamic immigration into the United States,” she added.
Within hours, the US State Department announced that it was pausing approvals of visas for people arriving in the country from the war-torn enclave, besides conducting a “full and thorough review” of the matter.
“All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days,” read a post on the official X handle of the State Department.
While Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the decision was taken after “outreach from multiple congressional offices,” Loomer took credit for the same on social media and said it was “amazing how fast we can get results from the Trump administration.”
