Visa Revocations for Foreign Nationals After Celebrating Activist’s Assassination
In a decisive move, the U.S. Department of State has revoked the visas of six foreign nationals following their public celebration of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The State Department’s firm stance highlights the U.S. policy against hosting individuals who express harmful sentiments toward American citizens.
The official Twitter account of the State Department stated, “The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.” The message added that the department will continue to identify and act against visa holders involved in similar activities.

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 individuals whose visas were revoked include a range of nationalities. A South African commented on social media, making disparaging remarks about those mourning Kirk and accusing him of promoting white nationalism. Similarly, a Mexican national described Kirk in negative terms and claimed some lives are better ended. Meanwhile, a Brazilian identified as comedian Tiago Santineli described Kirk’s death as overdue and made comparisons to historical figures.
Santineli further acknowledged the loss of his U.S. visa in a post on X, expressing controversial opinions about the activist’s demise.
Other reactions came from a German national, who faced deportation after making a favorable remark about the death of fascists, and a Paraguayan who condemned Kirk in harsh terms.
The State Department’s actions align with a previous warning from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, emphasizing that the visas of those who celebrate violence against political figures could be rescinded. Rubio stated, “If you are here on a visa and cheering on the public assassination of a political figure, prepare to be deported. You are not welcome in this country.”
Kirk’s assassination, which occurred on September 10 at Utah Valley University, led to significant backlash against those expressing joy over his death. Some individuals even faced professional repercussions for their public statements, as reported by The Guardian.
Following the incident, Vice President J.D. Vance, who temporarily hosted Kirk’s podcast, urged the public to hold accountable those celebrating violence. Vance assured that the administration would address institutions fostering domestic terrorism.
Attorney General Pam Bondi faced criticism for her stance on the subject, equating the celebration of Kirk’s death with “hate speech” and promising targeted actions against such behavior. Bondi insisted, “There’s free speech, and then there’s hate speech. And there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society. We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech.”
In a related development, President Donald Trump posthumously honored Charlie Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, presented to his wife, Erika Kirk, at the White House. Trump praised Kirk as “a visionary and one of the greatest figures of his generation,” recognizing his efforts to inspire America’s youth and preserve the nation’s legacy.
