THE CENTER SQUARE—An energy worker advocacy group sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security urging it to review whether climate advocate Greta Thunberg—along with others—should be allowed entry to the nation due to safety concerns arising after recent bannings she has faced elsewhere and the pattern of “disruption†that appears to follow her.
Founder and executive director of energy group Power the Future Daniel Turner told The Center Square: “Secretary [Kristi] Noem and the Trump Administration are working tirelessly to keep America safe, and we urge them to take a hard look at whether agitators like Thunberg should be allowed onto American soil.â€
Power the Future is a nonprofit dedicated to Americans working in reliable energy sources and sent the letter concerning Thunberg’s entry to the United States.
Turner told The Center Square that “everywhere Greta Thunberg goes, chaos follows.â€
“We have enough internal instability from the climate movement without importing foreign extremists who are further committed to unrest,†Turner said.
“Greta Thunberg has aligned herself with organizations like Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil—groups responsible for property damage, highway blockades, and dangerous public disorder,†Turner said.
At time of publishing, neither the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) nor Thunberg provided comment.
Turner requested in his letter to DHS, “a full review of whether professional climate radical Greta Thunberg should be granted entry into the United States in the future, based on a pattern of international disruptive conduct and her role as a known agitator.â€
Turner wrote that his request “is not ideological.â€
Instead, Turner said that his urging “is rooted in the federal government’s responsibility†to protect U.S. infrastructure, public safety, national landmarks and cultural sites, and economic activity impacted by large-scale blockades or disruptions.
“The United States has both the right and the obligation to evaluate whether the entry of a foreign national poses a risk to public order, infrastructure, or significant cultural and historical assets,†Turner wrote.
“Ms. Thunberg’s ongoing involvement in actions that result in vandalism, obstruction, or arrests overseas raises legitimate questions as to whether similar disruptions could occur on U.S. soil,†Turner wrote.
