state department gaza visas halted laura loomer.

Conservative activist Laura Loomer complained on social media about children from Gaza arriving in the U.S. for medical treatment and questioned how they got visas. The next day, the State Department said it was halting all visitor visas for people from Gaza pending a review. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday told “Face the Nation” on CBS that the action came after ”outreach from multiple congressional offices asking questions about it.” Loomer had posted videos of children from Gaza arriving earlier this month for medical treatment with the aid of an organization called HEAL Palestine. The organization says it brings “severely injured children” to the U.S. on temporary visas for treatment they can’t get at home.
