Trump Administration Cancels Visas for Foreign Nationals Who Celebrated Charlie Kirks Assassination

The Trump administration has taken a strong stance against visa holders who celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA. Recently, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced plans to revoke visas for foreigners who expressed support for Kirk’s killing. Following through on this promise, the State Department has begun identifying and stripping legal status from those who made alarming statements about the incident.

A State Department official stated, “The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.” This statement reflects the administration’s commitment to enforcing immigration laws and protecting American citizens. Rubio emphasized that those who take advantage of the U.S. while promoting violence against its citizens will face consequences.

Kirk was shot and killed at a Turning Point USA event last month at Utah Valley University. He was only 31 years old. In a posthumous honor, President Donald Trump awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom on what would have been his 32nd birthday.

The State Department shared several statements from visa holders who lost their legal status. An Argentine national claimed Kirk spread “racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric” and suggested he deserved to “burn in hell.” A South African national expressed that Kirk’s death was a result of his actions, while a Mexican national stated that some people “deserve to die.” Other comments included harsh criticisms from Brazilian and German nationals, who also condemned Kirk’s legacy.

This move is part of a broader effort by Rubio’s State Department to review and revoke visas for individuals involved in anti-American activities. This includes those with ties to terrorist groups or connections to the Chinese Communist Party. Recently, the department also revoked visas from over 50 Mexican officials suspected of links to drug cartels.

The administration’s actions highlight a commitment to national security and a firm stance against those who celebrate violence against Americans.
