Far-right activist Laura Loomer claims credit for US’ visa suspensions

The far-right activist has hailed the decision by the US Department of State to suspend humanitarian visas for Palestinians in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

In a post on X, Loomer described the decision as “fantastic news”, and thanked US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for what she called his “prompt response to this invasion of our country by NGOS that have been accused of being pro-HAMAS”.

“Hopefully all GAZANS will be added to President Trump’s travel ban,” Loomer added, before suggesting Palestinians can get medical treatment elsewhere.

“The US is not the world’s hospital!”
