'Can she self-deport?' Controversial Trump ally blasted for immigration status report

Far-right influencer and self-described “proud Islamophobe” Laura Loomer was called out Wednesday by a former Joe Biden campaign aide, who claimed her own questionable immigration status could make her deportable under the hardline policies she herself promotes.

“Turns out Laura Loomer was an anchor baby,” wrote Jacqueline Singh, an information security strategist who previously served as Biden’s lead cybersecurity staffer for his 2020 presidential campaign, in a social media post on X. “Her mother was on a tourist visa. Can she self-deport?”

Alongside her comments, Singh shared a video detailing allegations that Loomer’s mother was not an American citizen, and that she was a British nurse visiting the United States on a tourist visa when Loomer was born in Tucson, Arizona in 1993. While Loomer was born in 1993 in Arizona, claims regarding her mother’s immigration status are unverified, but were apparently compelling enough for Singh to call for Loomer’s self-deportation.

Loomer has been a strong advocate for President Donald Trump’s mass deportation policy, once celebrating the idea of “feeding illegals” to alligators to commemorate the opening of Trump’s new migrant detention center known as Alligator Alcatraz. In 2023, she argued on her own blog that “anchor babies like Nikki Haley” had no right to pursue the office of the presidency.

According to Loomer’s own positions, and were the allegations of her mothers’ immigration status to be accurate, she would be among those ripe for deportation.

In her social media post, Singh also tagged the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Removal Operations social media account in an apparent effort to flag Loomer for investigation.

While not a government official, Loomer continues to wield “breathtaking influence” over Trump, and has been tied directly to a number of high-profile firings across multiple federal agencies.
