Laura Loomer has publicly called for the deportation of Xi Mingze, daughter of Chinese President Xi Jinping, claiming she continues to reside in Massachusetts under foreign student status.
The demand comes amid escalating tensions between the Trump administration and academic institutions over Chinese student enrollment and national security concerns.
Loomer made her demands through a post on X.
“DEPORT XI JINPING’S DAUGHTER!,” she stated.
Loomer alleged that Xi Mingze “lives in Massachusetts and went to Harvard” while claiming unnamed sources informed her that “PLA guards from the CCP provide her with private security on US soil in Massachusetts.”
The commentator tagged multiple key figures in the Trump administration, including President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, border czar Tom Homan and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.
Loomer urged her supporters to make the subject trend on social media platforms, attempting to generate widespread attention for her unsubstantiated claims.
Xi Mingze graduated from Harvard University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology after completing her undergraduate studies at the prestigious institution.
During her time at Harvard, she reportedly used a pseudonym to maintain privacy and avoid drawing attention to her high-profile family connections. However, Newsweek reported that publicly available information contradicts Loomer’s claims about her current residence in the United States.
The outlet highlighted that the New Yorker reported in 2015 that Xi Mingze returned to China following her Harvard graduation and has maintained a low profile since then.
The publication’s reporting suggested she departed the United States shortly after completing her degree program and has not been documented as returning for extended periods.
No publicly available evidence supports claims that she remains in the United States or maintains any form of permanent residence in Massachusetts, according to Newsweek.
The outlet argued that Loomer provided no evidence to substantiate her allegations and did not identify her sources for the claims, further noting that the conservative commentator has not released documentation, photographs or other materials that would corroborate her assertions about Xi Mingze’s alleged presence in the United States.
The timing of these allegations coincides with significant tensions between the Trump administration and Harvard University over immigration policies and international student enrollment.
The controversy represents part of broader efforts by conservative activists and Republican officials to scrutinize Chinese influence in American higher education institutions.
The Trump administration recently revoked Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students and has accused the institution of promoting antisemitism and collaborating with the Chinese Communist Party.
Chinese nationals represented approximately 20 percent of Harvard’s international student population before these recent policy changes took effect.
Newsweek reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the United States will begin revoking visas of Chinese students, particularly those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.
Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation targeting Chinese students in American universities.
Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MI) proposed the Protecting Higher Education from the Chinese Communist Party Act, which would ban Chinese Communist Party members and their relatives from obtaining student visas for American universities.
Data from the National Science Foundation reveals that 92 percent of Chinese students who earn Ph.D. degrees in the United States remain in the country five years after graduation, compared to 41 percent of South Korean Ph.D. graduates.
Xi Mingze, born in 1992, is the only child of Chinese President Xi Jinping and folk singer Peng Liyuan.
She studied psychology at Harvard University under a pseudonym and has maintained a largely private existence with minimal public information available about her activities.
The Chinese government has responded to visa restrictions by urging the United States to protect international student rights.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated that China “upholds that normal education cooperation and academic exchanges should not be disrupted.”
Mao emphasized at a May 28 press conference that “We urge the U.S. to effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of all international students, including Chinese students overseas.”
The Department of Homeland Security has implemented broad reviews of visa categories associated with Harvard University, examining student, business, tourist and other visa holders for potential security concerns.
A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Department of Homeland Security’s effort to revoke Harvard’s certification under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, which enables international student enrollment.
