The United States government has revoked the visas of six foreign nationals accused of celebrating the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
The State Department announced the decision on Tuesday, saying that America will not tolerate foreigners who glorify violence against its citizens.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the department stated that the US “has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death upon Americans.”
The message included screenshots of social media posts from users in South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay, Germany, and Argentina, who allegedly praised Kirk’s murder.
The department added that each of those individuals is now “no longer welcome in the United States.”
One Argentine national had written that Kirk “devoted his entire life to spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric” and “deserved to burn in hell.”
A Mexican user posted that “Kirk died being a racist” and that “some people deserve to die.”
Another Brazilian citizen mocked the conservative figure, saying “Charlie Kirk was the reason for a Nazi rally where they marched in homage to him,” before adding that he “died too late.”
The statement also cited a German national who justified Kirk’s killing by writing, “When fascists die, democrats don’t complain.”
Similarly, a Paraguayan commenter wrote that Kirk “died by his own rules.”
The department warned that foreigners who celebrate acts of political violence against Americans will lose their right to stay in the country.
“Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed,” the statement read.
It also affirmed that President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio remain committed to defending US citizens by enforcing immigration laws strictly.
The killing of Charlie Kirk, 31, on September 10, 2025, sparked outrage and fears of more political violence across the country.
Kirk, a conservative youth influencer and close ally of Trump, was shot dead in what authorities described as an apparent assassination.
Trump, during a ceremony at the White House, described Kirk as a “martyr for truth and freedom.”
He awarded Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor, to his widow.
The President vowed to intensify his crackdown on “radical left-wing extremism,” saying the nation must show “zero tolerance for political violence.”
“In the wake of Charlie’s assassination, we are done with angry mobs,” Trump declared. “We will not allow our cities to be unsafe.”
The revocation of visas marks one of the most forceful immigration actions linked to political speech in recent US history, reflecting a broader shift toward enforcing “no place for hate” as official policy.
