Donald Trump’s administration stopped all visitor visas from Gaza — including those for humanitarian and medical aid — on Saturday after far-right provocateur and Trump friend Laura Loomer posted about several Palestinian children being allowed into the U.S. for medical care amid Israel’s relentless siege and blockade.

The State Department said it will “conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days,” in a post on X.

“It’s amazing how fast we can get results from the Trump administration,” Loomer wrote on X, adding an applause emoji.”

What kind of fucking trash would oppose children stuck in a 'war zone' coming to their country for medical treatment?

We used to be a great nation, that would do that readily and freely, because we could, and it was the right thing to do. Now Trump and his pedo party deny everyone health care and support, both foreign and domestic, citizen or not, insured or not

There's only one cure for Trump and anyone supporting him. It's about time to administer it

All the people who saw the last rise of fascism have died and only their bratty, waste-of-space kin are left in charge.
