A prominent far-right German activist and influencer is seeking political asylum in the US, arguing she is being persecuted at home for her beliefs. Naomi Seibt, 25, said that German domestic intelligence is tracking her movements; she is an outspoken supporter of the anti-immigration Alternative fr Deutschland party, which authorities have labeled extremist. Her application for asylum reflects both Berlin's increased scrutiny of the country's far right and Washington's sympathy for such actors.
