Far-right activist Laura Loomer is drawing fierce criticism for getting people detained and viciously attacking other conservatives, and it's a bad sign about who shapes US policy.

• Loomer pushed to deport two Iranian women in LA simply because they share the last name Soleimani, and ICE arrested them.
• Reporting found the women have no link to the dead Iranian general Qassem Soleimani; one is now seriously ill in detention, and one had fled Iran as a regime protester.
• Loomer is feuding with conservatives Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, who oppose the Iran war, hurling personal and racist insults at Owens.
• She is pushing the Trump administration to investigate Carlson and Owens under foreign-agent rules for criticizing Israel.
• The bigger claim: Loomer has real sway, getting people fired and arrested, and figures like Marco Rubio act on her tags.

Outlook: Expect more Loomer-driven targeting of Israel critics, with little pushback from the government or mainstream media.
