BURST
The visas of six foreign nationals in the United States were revoked over comments about Charlie Kirk, says the Trump administration.
The individuals were from Argentina, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Germany and Paraguay, respectively. The Department of State shared examples of the type of remarks that were made, two of which appeared to be on posts on X, while one looked like a Facebook post. None of the individuals were identified by name.
An Argentinian national alluded to the fact that Kirk deserved to be in hell and said he did not “give a f—k about the death of a person” who devoted his life to “spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric,” according to one example shared by the department.
“Visa revoked,” the Department of State wrote.

Kirk was a political activist and ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, known for hosting debates about a wide range of topics, from religion to gender identity. He was a polarizing figure for some; he opposed same-sex marriage and was against abortion. However, he also connected with people with his Christian values and for supporting gun rights. He was fatally shot on Sept. 10 while he was hosting a debate at Utah Valley University in Orem, UT. The 22-year-old suspect, Tyler James Robinson , was arrested and is now facing murder charges.
“The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans,” the Department of State said. “The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk.”
In another example, a person from South Africa said that Kirk “won’t be remembered as a hero,” in a post that appeared to be written on X. That person also said that Kirk was “used to astroturf a movement of white nationalist trailer trash.” Astroturfing is an artificially-manufactured political movement designed to give the appearance of grassroots activism, according to the Political Dictionary.
In a post written in German, another person wrote, “when fascists die, democrats don’t complain,” according to the Department of State.
One person called Kirk a racist, while another said he “died too soon.”
Trump and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio “will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws,” said the department. “Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed.”
In mid-September, Rubio said visa revocations were underway . “America will not host foreigners who celebrate the death of our fellow citizens,” he said.
This comes after Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the late-night talk show hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel, was taken off the air briefly after he made comments about Kirk. Kimmel joked about how Trump was dealing with the loss and also accused the “MAGA gang” of trying to characterize Kirk’s alleged killer “as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
