A Texas-based immigration attorney has become the centre of an intense online debate after sharing an artificial intelligence-generated image of herself that fused multiple, seemingly contradictory identities, leading to a wave of criticism and discussion about heritage, faith, and politics.
The Viral AI Image and Provocative Statement
The controversy began when Anna Gorisch, an immigration attorney at Kendall Immigration Law, PLLC in Austin, Texas, posted a photo created by the AI platform Grok. In the image, she is depicted wearing a name tag identifying her as an immigration attorney, a bindi on her forehead, and a Nazi symbol on her jacket. The visual was accompanied by her text: "I am an Indian Jewish Feminist Nazi Immigration Attorney. Tired of too many ads?go ad free now."
This post was a direct, sardonic response to a separate conversation on the social media platform X. On Monday, Gorisch had engaged with a post about "Accident of birth," commenting, "The only argument for such a claim is based in a single religion. Heritage Americans believe that they were selected to be born here in the best place because they are the best ones and God selected them personally. You cannot codify this under our current Constitution."
Backlash from MAGA Supporters and Viral Fallout
Her initial comment drew sharp criticism, particularly from supporters of the MAGA movement. One user accused her of shifting the argument, stating, "Note how the feminist subtly shifts this from people to faith." Another harshly commented, "May you be deported soon."
In reaction to this criticism, Gorisch shared a screenshot of the exchange along with her now-viral AI image, captioning it, "Damn it is hard to keep up, but for those of you keeping score at home, according to MAGA, I am an Indian Jewish Feminist Nazi Immigration Attorney. I contain multitudes." This act of embracing the convoluted label propelled the story across the internet.
The AI photo attracted a wide range of interpretations. One user provided a detailed analysis of the Hindu symbols, noting, "You’re wearing three identifiers of Hinduism: Su-Astika (well being) Shatkona (The Six Cornered star, symbolic of the preservation of divine law and righteousness) and the Bindi to stimulate the pineal and the pituitary glands as well as the Ajna Chakra." Others made more inflammatory remarks, such as, "A hamas head band is missing ?"
Who is Anna Gorisch?
Behind the viral storm is a professional with a substantial legal background. Anna Gorisch is a seasoned immigration attorney focusing on employment-based immigration at Kendall Immigration Law, PLLC. Her career includes previous roles at major law firms like Ogletree Deakins and Fragomen, as well as serving as in-house counsel for GEODIS and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.
She is a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center and maintains an active membership in the American Immigration Lawyers Association, according to her professional LinkedIn profile. The incident highlights how personal commentary from professionals in sensitive fields can rapidly escalate into a public relations and ideological battleground on social media.
The episode underscores the potent and often unpredictable mix of artificial intelligence imagery, identity politics, and online discourse. It raises questions about satire, professional conduct, and the speed at which complex debates about heritage and nationality can be reduced to viral soundbites and symbols.
