Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump administration is revoking and denying visas to foreigners who celebrate the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Rubio made the announcement on Monday. He shared a clip on X of an interview he did with Fox News in which he said the State Department has already begun revoking visas.
“We are not in the business of inviting people to visit our country who are going to be involved in negative and destructive behavior, okay? So, if we invite someone to visit the United States of America as a student, as a tourist, as whatever, then … the standard they should be held to is very high,” said Rubio.
“We should not be giving visas to people who are going to come to the United States and do things like celebrate the murder, the execution, the assassination of a political figure. We should not. And if they&#8217;re already here, we should be revoking their visa,” he continued.

America will not host foreigners who celebrate the death of our fellow citizens.
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. You are not welcome in this country. <a href="https://t.co/dQys2OAeK7">pic.twitter.com/dQys2OAeK7</a>

The Secretary of State expanded on his comments the next day while speaking to reporters.
“There&#8217;s no shortage of idiots around the world that’ve decided it&#8217;s a great idea to murder someone. We don’t want people like that in our country. By the way, it&#8217;s bad that we have people that are U.S. citizens that feel that way,” <a href="https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1968053223081857050">said</a> Rubio. “But you&#8217;re a foreigner? Why would we want to allow into the United States someone who&#8217;s in favor of murder? We don&#8217;t want pro-murder people in America.”
A gunman fatally shot Kirk at a Turning Point USA event last week in Utah. Kirk, a 31-year-old conservative activist and founder of TPUSA, had been hosting one of his open debates on the campus of Utah Valley University.
Rubio’s State Department has taken an aggressive approach to reviewing and revoking visas for foreigners engaged in anti-American activity. Examples include foreigners who have expressed support for terror groups or who have close <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rubio-promises-to-aggesively-target-students-tied-to-chinese-communist-party">ties</a> to the Chinese Communist Party. Rubio has also taken action against some foreign officials, as well, if they <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rubio-announces-new-visa-restrictions-for-foreigners-who-censor-americans">aided</a> in the censorship of Americans or American companies.
