German far-right activist seeks asylum in U.S. as Trump ties deepen

Social media influencer Naomi Seibt, a supporter of the nationalist AfD party, said she is being persecuted in Germany for her political views.

BERLIN — A prominent far-right German activist has applied for political asylum in the United States, citing fears for her safety, as the Trump administration has signaled plans to prioritize protections for White refugees and Europeans who claim they are being targeted for their populist views.

The activist, Naomi Seibt, is a social media influencer and supporter of the nationalist, anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which German authorities have labeled extremist.

Seibt, 25, said she is being persecuted in Germany for her political views — the “target of intelligence surveillance” and “state media defamation” — and has received “death threats from antifa,” referring to a loosely knit movement of activists who oppose fascism. Seibt shared a letter from German domestic intelligence documenting its tracking of her activities, which she said prompted her decision to seek asylum.

“That’s the moment when I thought, I cannot return to Germany safely,” Seibt said in an interview from Washington, where she is living while her asylum application is processed.

Asylum is more commonly sought by people fleeing war or repressive regimes in countries with justice systems that offer little protection. The rare application from a citizen of a wealthy Western democracy comes amid increasingly close ties between Germany’s far right and prominent figures in President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement.

Residents of Germany live in peaceful conditions with a strong social safety net, including some of the world’s best health care, and an established rule-of-law tradition. They also have access to the European Union’s Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights.

An alarming number of AfD candidates who were poised to win their elections mysteriously died recently.

Has a mainstream media outlet ever referred to anyone as “far-left”? After all, there are many candidates for that description. Bernie Sanders, AOC, Mamdani, etc.

But I don’t think it’s ever happened, even once.

🤔

[Governor Dinwiddie]

"Residents of Germany live [with an] established rule-of-law tradition [since 1933]."

[kiryandil]

I did Nazi see this coming from the Germans...

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Definitely not Thunberg.

[kiryandil]

Probably anti-mudsharking too, and the antifa German Lefties gotta have their deeverseetay...

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Mudsharks and coal burners.

The apparent talking points about Antifa are that they are “referring to a loosely knit movement of activists who oppose fascism”, in keeping with the latest far left denial that Antifa even exists.

Peaceful conditions? Not anymore!

Where has this “reporter” been the last 10 years?

[UnwashedPeasant]

”’death threats from antifa,’ referring to a loosely knit movement of activists who oppose fascism.”

Propaganda article.

[central_va]

“Far right”

[central_va]

The face of evil.

[Candor7]

Perhaps, but then what price hate?

She would be better than taking in a few thousand illegals every day.

She stands for freedom of speech. So I hope she obtains asylum in the United States of America..

[central_va]

Sarcasm, do I have to say it?

More ridiculous WAPO lies.

She is not "far right". Klantifa is not "a loosely knit movement of activists who oppose fascism". They're violent leftist thugs and terrorists who commit crimes against anybody who does not support the globalist, Gaia Worshiping agenda.

WAPO says asylum is "commonly sought by people fleeing war or repressive regimes in countries with justice systems that offer little protection." That's exactly what Germany is. The same goes for several other countries in Western Europe including the UK. Then WAPO lies again and says "Residents of Germany live in peaceful conditions with a strong social safety net, including some of the world’s best health care, and an established rule-of-law tradition. They also have access to the European Union’s Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights." Germans live in increasingly unsafe unpeaceful conditions with stifling socialism a fraying socialist welfare state and a rapidly declining economy. They can count on being discriminated against by the country's highly politicized intelligence service, its corporate media which is in bed with the corrupt Establishment, and cannot received fair trials in the politicized, corrupt courts both in Germany as well as the EU.
