State Department Abruptly Halts Visa Releases for Gazans After Loomer Exposes Shocking Footage of Refugees Shipped Into America

The U.S. State Department has suspended all visa releases for individuals from Gaza after investigative journalist Laura Loomer exposed shocking footage of Palestinian “refugees” being quietly brought into the United States, allegedly under the guise of humanitarian visas.

Loomer posted video evidence on X showing Palestinian nationals claiming to be “refugees” arriving in U.S. airports, including San Francisco, Houston, Texas, St. Louis, Missouri, and Ohio.

According to her report, these individuals were assisted by a group called Heal Palestine.

Loomer wrote on X:

“Despite the US saying we are not accepting Palestinian “refugees” into the United States under the Trump administration, I have obtained video footage of Palestinians who claim to be refugees from Gaza coming into the United States via San Francisco and Houston, Texas this month. The Palestinians traveled from Gaza to the US with the help of a group called “Heal Palestine”.

How did Palestinians get Visas under the Trump administration to get into the United States? Did @StateDept approve this? How did they get out of Gaza? Is @SecRubio aware of this?

Who from the State Department is assisting “Heal Palestine”?

Why are any Islamic invaders coming into the US under the Trump admin?

Who approved the visas? How many more are being given visas to come into the US, and why are @GavinNewsom @GregAbbott_TX harboring Palestinian “refugees” in California and Texas?

This is a national security threat. We didn’t vote for more Islamic immigration into the United States.

Who signed off on these visas? They should be fired.”

BREAKING:

Another flight of Palestinians from Gaza just arrived today at the St. Louis Lambert International Airport on a @lufthansa flight.

How are so many Palestinians who live in Gaza getting Visas from the US State Department to come into the US?

This is absurd.… https://t.co/qyx2y4KKKM pic.twitter.com/AtgkkGiNfG

The group facilitating the entries, Heal Palestine, describes itself as a nonpolitical, nonreligious U.S.-registered nonprofit founded in 2024 to deliver “urgent relief and long-term support” to Palestinians.

According to investigative X user Data Republican, Heal Palestine filed a 990-N (meant for charities under $50K in revenue) while receiving grants well over that threshold.

According to Data Republican:

“Heal Palestine (the group who is posting about welcoming Gaza refugees) has EIN 882454707 and filed a 990N for the year 2023. Yet, 990Ns are for charities with revenues under 50K and I found multiple instances of 50K+ grants.

Heal Palestine’s board is full of technocrats … but perhaps most telling is that there is a Mohanned Awad on the board who is publicly declared as bringing “UAE connections to HEAL’s Board.”

Steve Sosebee, the founder of Heal Palestine, also founded the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF). They too got an enormous cash influx boost starting in 2023.”

. @bullfrog35 found out that PCRF (Sosebee’s other charity) was funded by Holy Land Foundation, the same one implicated as a terrorist organization and Hamas funding. https://t.co/76w5e8glNo

Data Republican added:

“Today, the arrival of Palestinian refugees in the United States made social media rounds, and it was discovered to be the efforts of an organization called Heal Palestine.

Heal Palestine is led by Steve Sosebee, the same individual who previously partnered with the now-dismantled Holy Land Foundation (HLF), a U.S.-based charity founded by the Muslim Brotherhood shut down after being convicted of funneling millions of dollars to Hamas.

Sosebee was part of HLF’s fundraising operation.

His role: transport injured Palestinian children to the U.S. for care — explicitly picked to elicit sympathy.

HLF’s role: handle donor outreach, press, and scheduling.

The arrangement: HLF took 60% of the donations; Sosebee took 40%.

This was a coordinated financial pipeline to Hamas, a partnership between a U.S. nonprofit and the Muslim Brotherhood’s American fundraising arm.

That was approximately twenty years ago and Sosebee somehow avoided DoJ scrutiny in the Holy Land Foundation case. And now the optics of these Palestinian refugees arriving in the USA are identical.

So, to whom is that 60% going to this time?”

U.S. Nonprofit Once Tied to Hamas … Back in Operation?

I’m making a separate post to explain why this is so serious:

Florida State Rep. Randy Fine blasted the revelations uncovered by Loomer:

“I am troubled by reporting uncovered by Laura Loomer that indicates that Gazans are being allowed into the United States. If true, this is absolutely unacceptable.

My office will be working with the relevant authorities to confirm the truth, understand how it happened, and seek immediate expulsion.”

Loomer confirmed she has already spoken directly with Fine, and that Senator Tom Cotton’s office is also investigating how these visas were granted.

After Loomer’s footage went viral and congressional pressure mounted, the State Department released a statement:

“All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we 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.”

Thank you, @marcorubio! This is fantastic leadership on your part.

I appreciate you addressing this crisis in record speed.

Thank you for prioritizing the safety of US citizens. https://t.co/HpOQ6ilvgX
