State Department revokes visas for six migrants it claims celebrated Charlie Kirk's death

The State Department on Tuesday said that it has revoked visas for six people that it claimed celebrated the assassination of the late conservative Christian activist Charlie Kirk.

Kirk was shot and killed during a rally in Utah last month. President Donald Trump posthumously awarded Kirk the presidential medal of freedom on Tuesday at the White House. The medal was accepted by Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, on what would have been Charlie's 32nd birthday. 

The State Department shared social media posts on X from the former visa holders, which showed them celebrating Kirk's assassination. The people were from Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, South Africa and Paraguay. 

"The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans," the department said on X. "The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk."

The department said Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump were committed to defending "our borders, our culture and our citizens."

"Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed," it added.
