Overview
- Navarro revealed on Friday’s live episode of ABC’s The View that she is barred from entering Nicaragua, attributing it to her sustained criticism of the government on social media.
- The disclosure came as the panel weighed President Donald Trump’s proposal requiring certain visitors to submit five years of social-media history for U.S. screening.
- Navarro said she was surprised the proposed review targets visa-waiver countries and described them as mostly white nations such as the Netherlands, Australia and Belgium.
- In a 2021 Instagram post about her late mother, she wrote that she could not travel to Nicaragua because the regime denied entry to media, jailed critics, and her parents feared for her safety.
- Entertainment Weekly and The Independent reported her on-air claim and said they sought comment from her representatives, and their stories did not include a response from Nicaraguan officials.
