US officials have canceled the visas of six individuals who praised the killing of Conservative activist Charlie Kirk on social media.
On Tuesday, the State Department revealed this action, cautioning that the U.S. is not required to accommodate those who desire harm to its citizens.
“The United States is not required to welcome individuals from abroad who desire harm to Americans.” The State Department is still identifying visa holders who commemorated the appalling assassination of Charlie Kirk,” it stated. “Below are a few instances of aliens who are unwelcome in the U.S. now.”
The department shared a screenshot of their social media posts commemorating Mr. Kirk’s assassination, stating “visa revoked.”The six foreign nationals whose visas were canceled come from South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Paraguay, and Mexico.
In a post on X, the department stated that the Argentinian claimed in an online message that Mr. Kirk “dedicated his whole life to spreading racist, xenophobic, and misogynistic rhetoric” and deserved to suffer in hell. Furthermore, the department stated that the South African had “ridiculed Americans mourning Kirk’s death,” asserting “they’re upset that the racist rally concluded with an attempted martyrdom” and asserting “he was utilized to fabricate support for a movement of white nationalist trailer trash.”
The Brazilian faced allegations of stating that “Charlie Kirk was the cause of a Nazi rally held in his honor” and that Kirk “DIED TOO LATE”.
The department claimed that the Mexican asserted Mr. Kirk “passed away as a racist, he passed away as a misogynist” and remarked that “some people deserve to die.” “Some individuals would improve the world by not being alive.”
In September, Mr. Kirk was slain at Utah Valley University. The U.S. authorities threatened to cancel the visas of foreigners who cheered his death after his assassination.
