Within hours, the US State Department announced that it was pausing approvals of visas for people arriving in the country from the war-torn enclave, besides conducting a 'full and thorough review' of the matter.
'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,' read a post on the official X handle of the State Department.
While Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the decision was taken after 'outreach from multiple congressional offices,' Loomer took credit for the same on social media and said it was 'amazing how fast we can get results from the Trump administration.'

Trump administration reviewing records of over 55 million foreigners with US visas for ‘revocation'
The State Department said Thursday that it's reviewing the records of more than 55 million foreigners who hold valid U.S. visas for potential revocation or deportable violations of immigration rules. Should such information be found, the visa will be revoked and, if the visa holder is in the United States, he or she would be subject to deportation.(Unsplash/Representative Image) In a written answer to a question posed by The Associated Press, the department said that all U.S. visa holders are subject to 'continuous vetting' with an eye toward any indication that they could be ineligible for the document. Should such information be found, the visa will be revoked and, if the visa holder is in the United States, he or she would be subject to deportation. The department said it was looking for indicators of ineligibility, including visa overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity, or providing support to a terrorist organization. 'We review all available information as part of our vetting, including law enforcement or immigration records or any other information that comes to light after visa issuance indicating a potential ineligibility,' the department said. Since President Donald Trump took office in January, his administration has thus far focused on deporting migrants illegally in the United States as well as holders of student and visitor exchange visas. The State Department's new language suggests that the re-vetting process, which officials acknowledge is time-consuming, is far more widespread. The administration has steadily imposed more and more restrictions and requirements on visa applicants, including requiring all visa seekers to submit to in-person interviews. But the review of all visa holders appears to be a significant expansion of what had initially been a re-vetting process focused mainly on students who have been involved in pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel activity. Officials say the reviews will include all the visa holders' social media accounts, law enforcement and immigration records in their home countries, along with any actionable violations of U.S. law committed while they were in the United States. 'As part of the Trump Administration's commitment to protect U.S. national security and public safety, since Inauguration Day the State Department has revoked more than twice as many visas, including nearly four times as many student visas, as during the same time period last year,' the department said. Earlier this week, the department said that since Trump returned to the White House, it has revoked more than 6,000 student visas for overstays and violations of local, state and federal law, the vast majority of which were assault, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and support for terrorism. It said that about 4,000 of those 6,000 were due to actual infractions of laws and that approximately 200–300 visas were revoked for terrorism-related issues, including providing support for designated terrorist organizations or state sponsors of terrorism.

Trump says he plans to patrol streets of Washington DC with US troops
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said he plans to patrol Washington's streets on Thursday with troops he deployed to the US capital in a show of force against what he claims is a "crime emergency." Trump ordered hundreds of National Guard to deploy in Washington last week vowing to "take our capital back," despite protests by some residents and statistics showing violent offenses falling. "I'm going to be going out tonight I think with the police and with the military of course... We're going to be doing a job," the Republican told Todd Starnes, a host for right-wing media outlet Newsmax. He spoke one day after his vice president, JD Vance, was greeted by boos and shouts of "Free DC" -- referring to the District of Columbia -- on his own meet-and-greet with troops deployed in the city. The DC National Guard has mobilized 800 troops for the mission, while Republican states Ohio, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia are sending a total of around 1,200 more. They have been spotted in major tourist areas such as the National Mall and its monuments, the Nationals Park baseball stadium and others. In addition to sending troops onto the streets, Trump has also sought to take full control of the local Washington police department, attempting at one point to sideline its leadership. Some residents have welcomed the crackdown, pointing to crime in their areas -- but others have complained the show of force is unnecessary, or has not been seen in parts of the US capital where violence is concentrated. Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller visited troops at Washington's Union Station Wednesday. Loud boos could be heard from outside as Vance walked into a fast-food restaurant at the train station. People also shouted expletive-laden jeers and slogans including "Free DC! Free DC!" Vance dismissed the hecklers as "a bunch of crazy protesters."

Perplexed at this logic: Jaishankar on Russian oil purchase as reason behind US tariff
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday, while on a visit to Russia, came down heavily on the US decision to impose a steep 50 per cent tariff on Indian imports and lambasted the argument behind the move that it was because New Delhi imported huge amounts of Russian oil, saying India was "perplexed at the logic".Earlier this month, US President Donald Trump announced 25 per cent tariffs on Indian goods and an additional 25 per cent levy, citing India's continued imports of Russian crude, suggesting that the south Asian nation indirectly funded Moscow's war against China, who is the biggest importer of Russian oil, enjoys a 90-day pause in US tariffs on its goods. "We are not the biggest purchaser of Russian oil. That is China. We are not the biggest purchaser of Russian LNG. I'm not sure, but I think that is the European Union," Jaishankar said in response to a question at a joint media briefing with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow."Incidentally, we also buy oil from America, and that amount has been increasing. So, quite honestly, we are very perplexed at the logic of the argument that you had referred to," he Jaishankar's remarks came days after former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley delivered a sharp rebuke of Trump's proposal to impose high tariffs on Indian exports, warning that the move could strain the US-India relationship at a crucial time. She warned Trump not to give a pass to "adversary" China and "burn" relations with an ally like Republican leader also called out the Trump administration's duplicity, highlighting a soft-handling of trade with China in which the US paused the tariffs for 90 ties between India and the US have seen a slump in recent months thanks to tariffs announced by Trump in the absence of an interim trade deal, which both countries tried to after Trump's announcement of 50 per cent tariffs, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declared that the country may consider imposing secondary tariffs if India continued to purchase Russian negotiations and efforts between India and Russia to further strengthen bilateral ties continue despite mounting pressure from western defence of its purchase of Russian crude, New Delhi has been of the view that its energy procurement is driven by national interest and market turned to purchasing Russian oil sold at discounted prices after some western countries imposed sanctions on Moscow and put a halt to its supplies in protest of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in February on Thursday, Jaishankar urged stronger trade with Moscow, calling on Russian firms to work "more intensively" with Indian said the two countries must diversify their trade basket and expand joint ventures. "Doing more and doing differently should be our mantra," he said in his opening trade has surged more than five-fold in the past four years, rising from USD 13 billion in 2021 to USD 68 billion in 2024-25, largely on the back of Indian imports of Russian hydrocarbons. The Russian Embassy in New Delhi estimated the growth at 700 per cent over the past five years.- EndsMust Watch
