Wednesday, October 15, 2025 - The United States has revoked the visas of six foreign nationals who made social media posts celebrating or justifying the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
In a statement shared on X, the US Department of State said
the country “has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.”
According to the Department, those affected are from South
Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay, Germany, and Argentina, and have all been
declared “no longer welcome in the US.”
Among the examples shared, an Argentine national allegedly
wrote that Kirk “deserved to burn in hell,” while a South African mocked
Americans mourning him. Others called him “a racist,” “a misogynist,” and even
said he “died too late.”
Each of the six individuals has now had their US visa
revoked.
The decision comes shortly after former President
Donald Trump posthumously awarded Kirk, the 31-year-old founder
of Turning Point USA, the Presidential Medal of Freedom,
describing him as a “martyr for truth.”
Kirk’s death sparked intense reactions online, with both his
critics and supporters clashing over his legacy.
Following the incident, the State Department said it will
continue identifying and penalising visa holders who use their platforms to
celebrate violence against Americans.
“Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while
celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed,” the statement
read.
