Credit...Anna Watts for The New York TimesBy Hamed Aleaziz and Ken BensingerPublished Aug. 16, 2025Updated Aug. 17, 2025, 12:46 p.m. ETThe Trump administration announced Saturday that it had paused approvals of visitor visas for people from Gaza, a key pathway for those seeking medical care in the United States, including young children who arrived in recent weeks with serious conditions.The State Department said it would assess the process behind those visas. \u201cAll visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review,\u201d the department said in a statement on X Saturday morning.The move came after an intense lobbying campaign by the right-wing activist Laura Loomer, who called the incoming flights a \u201cnational security threat\u201d in a flurry of social media posts starting on Friday that targeted a nonprofit aiding in medical evacuations.Just weeks ago, the nonprofit, HEAL Palestine, an Ohio-based group that helps Palestinian families and children, began orchestrating what it called the \u201clargest single medical evacuation of injured children from Gaza to the U.S.,\u201d bringing injured and ill Gazan children to the United States for care.To date, the group says it has evacuated 63 injured children for treatment, including 11, from age 6 to 15, who were flown to hospitals in nine U.S. cities this month. Many of the children had lost limbs during the conflict in Gaza. They are expected to travel to Egypt to rejoin their families once their medical care is completed, according to HEAL Palestine.The group, which was founded last year and also operates food kitchens in Gaza, said in a statement on Sunday that it was alarmed by the State Department\u2019s decision.\u201cThis is a medical treatment program, not a refugee resettlement program,\u201d HEAL Palestine said in the statement. \u201cOur mission gives children a renewed chance at life, whether through lifesaving surgery or the ability to walk again.\u201dJulia Gelatt, the associate director of the U.S. immigration policy program at the Migration Policy Institute, said that more than 9,000 people with travel documents from the Palestinian Authority had entered the United States on visitor visas in the 2024 fiscal year.\u201cThis move is consistent with the Trump administration\u2019s overall treatment of immigrants as constituting a threat to U.S. public safety,\u201d Ms. Gelatt said. \u201cBut it is extremely hard to imagine how someone coming to the U.S. for lifesaving medical treatment would present a national security risk.\u201dMs. Loomer, who wields extraordinary power in shaping Trump administration decisions over personnel and policy despite not having an official role in government, said she first learned of the flights earlier this month.\u201cI felt like this is something that needs attention,\u201d she said in an interview. \u201cUnder the Trump administration, they are actively importing Gazans into the U.S. Clearly this is not what we voted for.\u201dOn social media, Ms. Loomer called attention to a video posted on Aug. 6 by HEAL Palestine, showing Palestinian children arriving at the San Francisco airport.She subsequently posted about flights to St. Louis, San Antonio and Houston and claimed without providing evidence that the nonprofit was connected to Hamas, tagging state and federal officials in her posts.Representative Chip Roy, Republican of Texas, responded to her late on Friday on X, saying that he was \u201cdeeply concerned about the incoming flights\u201d and was making inquiries.Ms. Loomer said she spoke with Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday night to alert him to the flights and what she called the threat of an Islamic invasion.The State Department did not respond to a request for comment.Ms. Loomer has a long history of anti-Islam activism. In 2017, she wrote a social media post that cheered the drowning deaths of 2,000 refugees who were trying to flee violence in Syria and other countries with large Muslim populations by crossing the Mediterranean.For years, she has pushed for the Muslim Brotherhood, the Sunni Islamist movement, to be designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government, lobbying both members of Congress and the administration. Last week, Mr. Rubio said such a designation from the State Department was \u201cin the works.\u201dMedical flights for children affected by the conflict in Gaza have been occurring for well over a year, organized by a variety of charities.Dr. Mohammad Subeh, an emergency room physician who volunteers for HEAL Palestine, said that he had previously treated some of the children who recently arrived to the Bay Area during his time in Gaza. He said that the injuries included orthopedic trauma and severe burns and that they were exacerbated by malnutrition.\u201cI am saddened to see fear and hate permeate within a small yet vocal segment of our society, whereby people have dehumanized children,\u201d he said, by pushing for policies to withhold \u201clife- and limb-saving care.\u201dAndrew Miller, a former senior State Department official on Israeli-Palestinian affairs in the Biden administration, said that Gazans could only get visas to the United States by appearing at an embassy in Jerusalem, Cairo or Amman and undergoing security checks. \u201cWhat\u2019s more, just to get to a U.S. embassy outside of Gaza, the Israeli military and security services had to clear them and anyone accompanying them,\u201d he said, adding: \u201cFrom what I saw, any insinuation that we were taking an unusual security risk in these cases is baseless.\u201dHamed Aleaziz covers the Department of Homeland Security and immigration policy for The Times.Ken Bensinger covers media and politics for The Times.See more on: U.S. Politics, The Israel-Hamas War, The Palestinian Authority, Marco Rubio, Chip Roy, Donald TrumpShare full articleRelated ContentAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
