In a decisive move, the U.S. State Department has revoked the visas of several foreign nationals who publicly celebrated the assassination of conservative figure Charlie Kirk. The announcement, made via a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), underscores the administration’s commitment to protecting American values and citizens from those who glorify violence and hatred. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and President Donald Trump have both emphasized that the U.S. will not tolerate individuals who exploit its hospitality to spread divisive rhetoric or celebrate the death of Americans. Among those affected are individuals from Argentina, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, and Paraguay, whose inflammatory comments about Kirk’s death were deemed unacceptable. Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau had earlier expressed his disgust at the gleeful reactions to Kirk’s assassination, directing consular officials to take swift action. The visa revocations, which began immediately after the incident, signal a broader effort to enforce immigration laws and safeguard national integrity. This development follows a high-profile meeting between President Trump, Secretary Rubio, and Argentine President Javier Milei at the White House, highlighting the administration’s focus on both domestic and international security concerns.
