The United States has revoked the visas of six foreign nationals following social media comments made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The individuals involved are citizens of Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Paraguay, and South Africa. According to officials, the decision forms part of efforts to ensure that individuals who promote or celebrate violence against Americans are not permitted entry or residency in the country.
In a statement posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, on X (formerly Twitter), the U.S. Department of State said the country “has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.”
Some of the online remarks shared by the department included messages celebrating Kirk’s killing, with one post describing him as a “racist, xenophobic and misogynistic figure,” while another read: “When fascists die, democrats don’t complain.”
Authorities say the investigation is ongoing, with efforts to identify other visa holders who may have expressed similar sentiments.
Charlie Kirk, a well-known conservative commentator and founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in September. His death sparked national outrage and renewed political debate.
On what would have been his 32nd birthday, President Donald Trump posthumously awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
