US EditionGerman Activist Seeks US Asylum Over Alleged Antifa Death Threats
- On Tuesday, German activist Naomi Seibt filed for political asylum in the United States, submitting a petition under Section 208 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and awaiting an interview.
- Seibt says she fled after receiving death threats from Antifa and surveillance by German intelligence, alleging German police told her they could not act until she was raped or killed and that she is not protected by the government.
- Seibt first gained attention as a teenager and built a social-media profile, posting on YouTube since 2019 as an 'anti-Greta'; she worked with The Heartland Institute, appeared at CPAC, and Elon Musk privately messaged and reposted her about her AfD vote.
- Her asylum claim is pending and could take months, and Seibt says she aims to become an American citizen amid the U.S. immigration policy debate.
- The case highlights debates over extremism labels and free speech in Europe and the U.S., as Seibt's alignment with AfD and The Heartland Institute draws scrutiny amid the polarized climate debate.
