The State Department announced that it has revoked the visas of several foreign nationals who celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk.
In a statement on X, the Department said, “The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.”
“The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk,” it wrote. “Here are just a few examples of aliens who are no longer welcome in the U.S.”
One individual with a now-revoked visa is described as an Argentine national who said Kirk “devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric” and suggested he “deserved” eternal punishment.
A second individual is described as a South African national who “mocked Americans grieving the loss of Kirk” and said, “They’re hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom.”
Another foreign national, a Mexican individual, said Kirk “died being a racist, he died being a misogynist” and declared that “there are people who deserve to die. There are people who would make the world better off dead.” Furthermore, a Brazilian national said Kirk “died too late” while a German national wrote, “When fascists die, democrats don’t complain.”
A Paraguayan national also stated that Kirk “died by his own rules.”
After listing the actions of the foreign nationals, the State Department said the Trump administration will “defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws. Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed.”
The visa revocations come as Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau urged people in September to report foreign visa applicants if they were known to have made comments supporting or making light of the death of Charlie Kirk.
