The Trump administration has taken decisive action by revoking six visas in response to remarks concerning the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to an announcement from the State Department.

“The United States is under no obligation to harbor individuals who express desires for harm against Americans,” the State Department stated on Tuesday via a thread on the social media platform X.

The department further explained, “We are actively identifying visa holders who have applauded the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. These are just a few examples of individuals who are no longer permitted entry into the U.S.”

The Trump administration revoked six visas over comments about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to the State Department.

“The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans,” the State Department said Tuesday in a thread on the social platform X.

“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 U.S,” the department added.

According to the department’s thread, an Argentinian national, a South African national, a Mexican national, a Brazilian national, a German national and a Paraguayan national all had their visas revoked over comments about Kirk’s assassination. 

In a post on X, the State Department said the Argentine national said in an online post that Kirk “devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric” and deserves to burn in hell. In a separate post, the department claimed the South African national had “mocked Americans grieving the loss of Kirk” by saying in a post online that “they’re hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom” and alleging “he was used to astroturf a movement of white nationalist trailer trash.”

“@POTUS and @SecRubio will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws,” the State Department said in their X thread. “Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed.”

Following Kirk’s death, debates have arisen regarding his legacy, rhetoric, and the limits of free speech. Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel had his show briefly suspended by ABC over comments he made about Kirk’s assassination, drawing heavy backlash from Democrats.

On Tuesday, President Trump awarded the U.S.’s highest civilian honor posthumously to Kirk, calling him a “martyr for truth and for freedom.”

The president and numerous administration officials were in the Rose Garden to posthumously give the Presidential of Freedom to Kirk, who was killed in September amid an event at Utah Valley University.
