The State Department has halted all visitor visas for individuals from Gaza while it reviews the procedures used for issuing temporary medical-humanitarian visas. This announcement followed Laura Loomer's social media campaign targeting the policy, which she claimed had influenced the decision. Loomer celebrated the announcement, expressing hope that all Gazans would be included in President Trump's travel ban and demanded the firing of State Department staff who approved the visas. Her campaign began on August 6 and involved a series of reports regarding flights of Gazans to U.S. airports.
Loomer seized on the announcement as a personal victory, calling it fantastic news and hoping that all Gazans would be added to Trump's travel ban.
