"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," the State Department announced on X.
According to official data from the Ministry, over 3,800 B1/B2 visas - which are used, among other things, for medical treatment in the US - were issued to Palestinian Authority residents since the beginning of the year, including 640 in May alone.
Jewish-American activist Laura Loomer, who is close to US President Donald Trump, claimed on social media that "Palestinian refugees" entered the US this month.
Following the State Department's announcement, she tweeted, "Following the release of my reports yesterday exposing flights of GAZANS arriving at airports all across the US, the US State Department just announced that 'All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped' while the US @StateDept 'conducts a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days.' 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 @marcorubio!"
"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!"
In a separate tweet, she wrote: "The visas and arrivals of GAZANS to US airports isn’t new. This has been drastically increasing in speed and numbers over the last month, but it appears that the mass importation of GAZANS began under Joe Biden and it has continued into the Trump administration without being halted."

Hand that one to Laura Loomer, YET AGAIN! Just saw a posting from her yesterday about terrorists coming into the country.
Seems that Trump has now seen it too.
Good.
We already have enough foreign assholes here that hate us… As well as an entire political party that hates this country (hint: it has democ and rat in its name.)
And yet ppl here claimed “Loony Loomer” was a liar. She’s right 95% of the time.
The State Department is a nest of vipers who believe they are beyond the control of mere accountable political appointees. They’re perfeshunals doncha know!
Yeah we saw that info yesterday.
Glad to hear the administration is tightly tuned to the news.
Popeye Doyle in the French Connection:
“Don’t trust anybody.”
Are either one of these assumptions correct?
Probably not.
Yup. They sure is perfeshunals. Did up Kennedy, so they did. That’ll learn him to defy them.
Did a Biden judge overturn it yet?
It’s a weekend. Wait ‘til Monday.
As soon as light s shined on quiet brain-dead USgov activities , they scurry to backtrack.
It’s a weekend. Wait ‘til Monday.
Completely agree! Let them go to France, they'll love to have Gazans there. But not Canada, because they'll sneak across our border.
Laura Loomer seems to be a valuable asset to the conservative right.
The fact that this particular matter had to be rooted out by basically a freelance investigative reporter on her own dime this far into things is troubling.
We need an Immigration moratorium.
Excellent.
Re moratorium:
For specific demographics yes indeed.
We appear to have no effective way to return or expel people who come here on temporary bases
including these visas plus student visas plus “temprary” H1 work visas
