UK blocks US anti-Islam influencer Valentina Gomez from attending far-right rally

Monday, 20 April 2026, 14:08 · 1 min read

British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has revoked the travel authorisation of US-based influencer Valentina Gomez, preventing her from entering the United Kingdom to speak at a far-right rally in London. Gomez, a 26-year-old Colombian-born social media personality known for anti-Islam rhetoric, had been scheduled to appear at the Unite the Kingdom rally on 16 May, organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon). The home secretary withdrew her electronic travel authorisation on the grounds that her presence "would not be conducive to the public good" — the same justification used earlier this month to bar rapper Kanye West following antisemitic and pro-Nazi remarks.
