People who wish death on Americans are not welcome, the State Department said
The US State Department said on Tuesday that it has revoked the visas of several individuals who publicly celebrated the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Kirk, who co-founded Turning Point USA and rose to prominence by debating politics on college campuses, was killed by a sniper last month while speaking to students in Utah.
In a post on X on Tuesday - Kirk's birthday - the State Department said that the US "has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans."
The department posted screenshots of messages and quotes it said were made by six people from Germany, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay, and South Africa. An Argentinian national allegedly accused Kirk of spreading racist views and claimed he "deserved" to die, while a German national allegedly wrote, "When fascists die, democrats don't complain." A person from Brazil was said to have written that Kirk "was the reason for a Nazi rally where they marched in homage to him" and had "died too late."
The State Department said the posts were "just a few examples of aliens who are no longer welcome in the US," adding that it would continue to identify foreigners who celebrated Kirk's death.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump posthumously awarded Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. Kirk's widow, Erika, received the medal on his behalf.
Dozens of people in the US have lost their jobs or been suspended for mocking or justifying Kirk's death. Although most Democrats condemned the killing, Trump and other Republicans have blamed the "radical left" for inciting political violence.
