Overview
- Seibt, a 25-year-old right-wing activist known for climate denialism and ties to AfD, announced on Fox News that she has applied for asylum in the United States.
- She says she fears for her safety after alleged surveillance by German domestic intelligence and death threats from antifascist activists, claims not publicly corroborated by German authorities.
- Seibt is currently living in Washington as she awaits a response from U.S. authorities on her application.
- Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna met with Seibt in Washington and pledged to personally assist her asylum process.
- Seibt’s case has political resonance due to her links to MAGA networks and her role in connecting Elon Musk with AfD leader Alice Weidel, though experts stress her bid faces steep legal odds.
