The U.S. State Department has revoked the visas of six foreign nationals from Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Paraguay, and South Africa after they celebrated the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on social media.
The decision reflects a growing trend of using visa revocations as a diplomatic tool to address anti-American rhetoric and glorification of violence against U.S. citizens.
As Kirk was yesterday posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom on what would’ve been his 32nd birthday, the State Department justified the visa revocations as a national security measure, signaling a zero-tolerance approach to individuals expressing such extreme sentiment.

The six individuals targeted for their online comments span multiple continents, with specific remarks cited by U.S. officials:
The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.

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.:
- Argentina: An individual accused Kirk of devoting his life to “spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric” and declared he “deserves to burn in hell.”
- Brazil: A neurosurgeon, whose comments shocked American authorities, claimed Kirk “was the reason for a Nazi rally where they marched in homage to him” and asserted that Kirk “died too late.”
- Germany: A national celebrated Kirk’s death, writing, “when fascists die, democrats don’t complain,” in an attempt to justify the murder.
- Paraguay: An individual labeled Kirk “a son of a b****” and stated he “died by his own rules.”
- South Africa: A national mocked Americans grieving Kirk’s death, alleging “they’re hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom” and describing Kirk’s supporters as “white nationalist trailer trash.”
- Mexico: While specific comments from the Mexican national were not detailed in the announcement, they fall under the same category of celebratory or mocking remarks that prompted the revocation.
These statements, posted across platforms like X, triggered swift action from the State Department, which continues to monitor visa holders for similar behavior.
As the State Department outlined each case in separate X posts, it ended with the same line: “Visa revoked.”
The visa revocations align with a broader Trump administration policy to crack down on individuals engaging in hostile speech against the U.S.
In May 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a sweeping initiative to “aggressively revoke” visas, particularly targeting foreign students with ties to adversarial entities or those studying in critical fields.
This policy, detailed in a State Department statement titled “New Visa Policies Put America First, Not China,” promised enhanced scrutiny of visa applications from countries like China and Hong Kong, but its scope has now expanded to include individuals celebrating acts of violence.
BREAKING ? Visa Revocations.

“You are not welcome in this country”
Secretary of State, Marco Rubio— Visa revocations are under way. If you are here on a visa and cheering on the public assassination of a political figure, prepare to be deported. ?? pic.twitter.com/QAJZM2Dx9P
Rubio’s pledge has been put into action, with over 6,000 student visas revoked since August 2025 for violations such as supporting terrorism or engaging in incendiary speech.
The latest action against the six nationals builds on this momentum, reinforcing the administration’s commitment to protecting national interests through immigration controls.
.@POTUS and @SecRubio will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws.
— Department of State (@StateDept) October 14, 2025
Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed.
As the Trump Administration navigates the balance between national security and free expression, this case highlights the resolve to leverage visa policy as a powerful tool in the America First agenda.
By decisively addressing potentially violent individuals who celebrate deplorable acts, the administration ensures that words carry consequences—a stance that strengthens Americans’ safety.
With more revocations likely on the horizon, the boundaries of diplomacy and dissent are being redefined to protect the nation’s interests.
