Controversial MAGA influencer Valentina Gomez has been banned from entering the UK just a week after being granted ETA approval.
Self-styled MAGA influencer Valentina Gomez has been banned from entering the UK because she was due to attend a far-right rally organized by Tommy Robinson in London on May 16. This happened a week after she was allowed entry via the UK Electronic Travel Authorization. British minister Shabana Mahmood stepped in and withdrew the approval, The Guardian reported. Gomez was banned for the same reason Kanye West was also restricted from traveling to the UK earlier this month. Their presence was said to be “inimical to the public interest”. Valentina Gomez, 26, attended the first United Kingdom rally in September 2025. “England, they took your guns, they took your swords, they raped your women. You have nothing to lose but there is still hope. You are still the majority. So you either fight for this country or you let all these raping Muslims and corrupt politicians take over,” she said.“I need you to stop following orders because you know you are being told to turn a blind eye while your country is being raped,” she told police at the rally. Gomez is a Colombian-born Christian known for his anti-Islam stunts. Last August, she burned a copy of the Quran and vowed to eliminate religion from Texas if she was elected to Congress. She is running in the Republican primary for Texas’ 31st Congressional District on March 3, 2026. She received just 10% of the vote, losing to incumbent Rep. John Carter. Earlier this year, Gomez claimed she was banned from certain local Republican events in Texas as a result of exposing Carter. Ahead of her now-suspended visit to the UK in May, she dared the British government to arrest her.
