Six foreign nationals had their US visas revoked in connection with tone deaf comments they made about Charlie Kirk\u2019s assassination last month, the State Department announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The agency warned that voiding their visas isn\u2019t the end and that the Trump administration has plans to take further action against anyone celebrating Kirk\u2019s demise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk. @POTUS and @SecRubio will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws. Aliens who take advantage of America\u2019s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed,\u201d the agency wrote on X.<\/p>\n

The six foreign nationals, none of whom were identified, are from Argentina, South Africa, Mexico, Germany, Brazil, and Paraguay, according to the State Department.<\/p>\n

The Argentinian declared that Kirk \u201cdevoted his entire life to spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric.\u201d<\/p>\n

The South African citizen poked fun at Americans who were genuinely grieving Kirk, writing that \u201cthey\u2019re hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom\u201d and that \u201che was used to astroturf a movement of white nationalist trailer trash.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tHere’s the latest on the Charlie Kirk shooting in Utah<\/p>\n

Police identified Tyler Robinson, 22, as the alleged assassin<\/a> who fatally shot Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.<\/p>\n

Robinson was charged<\/a> with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury and obstruction of justice.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement confirmed that Robinson was living with a transgender roommate<\/a>, and communications between the two helped the feds catch the alleged assassin.<\/p>\n

Kirk, the 31-year-old<\/a> Turning Point USA co-founder, was attending an event on his American Comeback Tour<\/a> when he was struck in the neck by a single shot.<\/p>\n

President Trump was among many who have called for the assassin to receive the death penalty.<\/p>\n

Kirk\u2019s body was brought to Arizona<\/a> from Utah on Air Force Two, accompanied by Vice President JD Vance, and taken to Phoenix\u2019s Hansen Mortuary Chapel.<\/p>\n

Kirk\u2019s funeral, which Trump has promised to attend, is scheduled for Sept. 21<\/a> at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n

Kirk, a rising MAGA star, is survived by his wife and two <\/a>young children.<\/p>\n

The Mexican national wrote that Kirk \u201cdied being a racist, he died being a misogynist\u201d and that \u201cthere are people who deserve to die. There are people who would make the world better off dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

The German said that \u201cwhen fascists die, democrats don\u2019t complain.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Brazilian visa holder added that \u201cCharlie Kirk was the reason for a Nazi rally where they marched in homage to him\u201d and that the conservative pundit \u201cDIED TOO LATE.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Paraguayan national said that \u201cCharlie Kirk was a son of a b\u2014h and he died by his own rules.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The State Department shared each example on X and simply wrote \u201cVisa revoked\u201d as if stamping their documentation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kirk, the cofounder of Turning Point USA, was shot dead during a Sept. 10 speaking event at Utah Valley University.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His alleged killer, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was charged with aggravated murder and could face the death penalty in Utah.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Trump administration is eliminating any and all blind spots while ensuring that the US is not welcoming visitors \u201cwho glorify violence and hatred,\u201d Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action,\u201d he wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Other home-grown haters ranged from axed MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd to swaths of pilots, health care workers, and even teachers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Six foreign nationals had their US visas revoked in connection with tone deaf comments they made about Charlie…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":225389,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,7927,49204,10162,10815,3,4121,21,19,22,20,25,194,24,70983],"class_list":["post-225388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-assassinations","tag-charlie-kirk","tag-deportation","tag-media","tag-news","tag-state-department","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-us-news","tag-usa","tag-visas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225388"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225388\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/225389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
