The US government has revoked the visas of six foreign nationals who celebrated the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. According to the State Department, these individuals made inflammatory remarks online about Kirk’s death, which was met with widespread condemnation. The department emphasized that the US has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.
The six individuals whose visas were revoked are from Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Paraguay, and South Africa. Their comments, made on social media, included praising Kirk’s assassination, mocking American grieving, and accusing Kirk of spreading racist and xenophobic rhetoric. For instance, an Argentine national said Kirk “devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric” and “deserves to burn in hell”. A Brazilian national claimed Kirk “was the reason for a Nazi rally where they marched in homage to him” and said Kirk “DIED TOO LATE”.
The State Department’s decision comes as part of a broader effort to protect American citizens and defend the country’s borders and culture. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to the US. The department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated Kirk’s assassination and will take appropriate action.
This move is part of a larger crackdown on foreign nationals who make derogatory comments about Americans or celebrate violence against them. The Trump administration has been vocal about its commitment to enforcing immigration laws and defending American citizens. In a tweet, the State Department stated, “Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed.
The decision to revoke the visas was made on the same day President Donald Trump posthumously awarded Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor. Kirk was killed while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. The suspect, Tyler Robinson, faces aggravated murder charges and could face the death penalty if convicted
