The U.S. State Department on Saturday, announced a Pause on any Visitor Visas for Individuals from Gaza, as the Agency conducts a Review of the "Process and Procedures" related to the Issuance of a Small Number of those Visas on a "Temporary Medical-Humanitarian" Basis. Right-Wing Activist Laura Loomer claimed on X, that the Pause was in Response to Her Report that "Unvetted Palestinians" were Arriving in the U.S. However, the State Department did Not Specify why it had Decided to Conduct the Review.
On X Saturday Morning, the State Department wrote: "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." Visitor Visas have remained a Contentious Issue for the Second Trump (R) Administration, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio (R) earlier this year announcing Plans to more Eggressively Revoke and Scrutinize Student Visas from China, which would ostensibly be in Response to Failures by College Institutions to Crackdown on Student Demonstrations against Israel.
Pauses on CVisa Issuance in narrowly defined Circumstances can Delay Urgent Medical Travel and Complicate Humanitarian Coordination involving U.S. Hospitals, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and Foreign Governments. The Announcement did Not Specify how many Visas were affected, how Long the Review would Last, whether Pending Appointments or already-Issued Visas would be Canceled or Resumed, or how the State Department would handle Urgent Medical Travel during the Review.
However, Loomer on X took Credit for prompting the Review, writing in a Post that the Department announced its pause "following the release of my reports yesterday exposing flights of GAZANS arriving at airports all across the U.S."
In Her Initial Posts on Friday on X, Loomer took aim at the Group Heal Palestine, a Nonprofit founded in 2024 to "deliver urgent relief and long-term support to Palestinian children and families," according to the Group's website. Heal Palestine says on its website that it has Evacuated 148 Individuals, including 63 Children, from Gaza to receive Care in the U.S.
Loomer questioned how the Palestinians received their Visas and further were able to leave Gaza, calling the entire Operation a "national security threat" and demanding that whoever "signed off on these visas" should be "fired."
"Who approved the visas? How many more are being given visas to come into the U.S., and why are [Gavin Newsom] [Greg Abbott] harboring Palestinian 'refugees' in California and Texas?" Loomer asked. She posted several Videos of People from Gaza arriving in an Airport which She claimed is in the U.S. while Comments under the Videos said it was in Europe, possibly Belgium.
She therefore Applauded the State Department's Decision to Pause its Visitor Visa Program, writing: "This is fantastic news. Thank you @SecRubio for your prompt response to this invasion of our country by NGOS that have been accused of being pro-HAMAS," She wrote. "Hopefully all GAZANS will be added to President Trump's travel ban. There are doctors in other countries. The US is not the world's hospital!"
Meanwhile, Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL, 5th District), credited Loomer as the Reason for the State Department's Decision in a Post on X on Saturday Morning and wrote: "Massive credit needs to be given to [Laura Loomer] for uncovering this and making me and other officials aware. Well done, Laura." Loomer responded by Thanking the Congressman for "speaking out about this and sharing my report."
Right-Wing Activist Laura Loomer on Saturday wrote on X: "If the Arabs have money to get flashy with Trump, they have money to buy some prosthetics for GAZANS or import them to their own hospitals and luxurious towns. They constantly brag about how rich they are. They want to shame the West into accepting more Muslim invaders. They think their bribes and flashy bling will make the West turn a blind eye. The Arabs need to pay up or just put their money where their mouth is and take these GAZANS they want to force on the West."
