U.S. halts travel visas for sick Gaza children
Los Angeles Times
|August 18, 2025
The move comes after a complaint from conservative activist Laura Loomer.
JAE C. HONG Associated Press SECRETARY of State Marco Rubio said the visa process will be reevaluated.
A day after conservative activist Laura Loomer, an advisor to President Trump, posted videos on social media of children from Gaza arriving in the U.S. for medical treatment and questioning how they got visas, the State Department said it was halting all visitor visas for people from Gaza pending a review.
The State Department said Saturday the visas would be stopped while it looks into how “a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas” were issued in recent days. 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.”
Rubio said that there were “just a small number” of the visas issued to children in need of medical aid but that they were accompanied by adults. The congressional offices reached out with evidence that “some of the organizations bragging about and involved in acquiring these visas have strong links to terrorist groups like Hamas,” he asserted, without providing evidence or naming those organizations.
