The US State Department has revoked the visas of six foreigners , accusing them of “celebrating” the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The action came on Tuesday, the day Kirk would have turned 32. The day also saw Trump formally honour his ally with a Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States, which he had announced following the Turning Point USA co-founder’s killing on September 10.
“The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans. The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk. Here are just a few examples of aliens who are no longer welcome in the US,” the State Department posted on X.
The six individuals are from Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Paraguay, and South Africa.
“@POTUS and @SecRubio will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws. Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed,” the State Department warned.
The crackdown aligns with US secretary of state Marco Rubio ’s warning to those “cheering on the public assassination of a political figure (Kirk)” to "prepare for visa revocation and deportation."
Kirk was shot while addressing a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University. The suspect, Tyler Robinson, has been charged with murder, and prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty.
