The administration of President Donald Trump revoked the visas of six foreigners who, according to the State Department, made derogatory comments or went so far as to mock the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk last month. The department reported that these individuals were to lose their visas after reviewing several of their social media posts about the Turning Point USA founder, who was murdered last Sept. 10 during an event at Utah Valley University.

The announcement took place at the same time that President Trump posthumously awarded Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is known to be the highest civilian award in the United States. Trump's decision did not come as a surprise, after several media reported that the Republican leader was planning to take this step, after he said during Kirk's funeral that the young activist was not only a "martyr" for freedom, but also a "great American hero."

Who had their visas revoked?

As detailed by the State Department on its X account, the six foreigners whose visas were revoked were from South Africa, Paraguay, Mexico, Germany, Brazil and Argentina. While the agency did not reveal their identities, it did share the posts that caused them to lose their visas, along with a message in which it explained that "the United States has no obligation to welcome foreigners who wish death on Americans".

In the case of the foreigner from Argentina, the department detailed that this one posted that Kirk "dedicated his entire life to spreading racist, xenophobic and misogynistic rhetoric" and that he "deserves to burn in hell." For his part, the South African one reportedly mocked Americans who mourned Kirk's death by asserting that the "racist rally" ended "in attempted martyrdom." Likewise, the agency said that the person from Mexico assured that Kirk was a racist and a misogynist, adding that "there are people who deserve to die."

As reported by the department, the person from Brazil reportedly said that "Charlie Kirk was the reason for a Nazi rally where they marched in tribute to him," adding that "HE DIED TOO LATE." On the other hand, that of Paraguay would have claimed that Kirk was a "son of a p###" who died according to his own rules, while lof Germany would have celebrated his murder in a publication in which he wrote that "when fascists die, democrats don't complain."

At the end of its publication, the agency wrote that both Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio "will defend our borders, our culture and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws," adding that "Aliens who take advantage of America's hospitality while celebrating the murder of our citizens will be removed."

Social media monitoring

Since Kirk's brutal murder at the hands of a 22-year-old named Tyler Robinson, Vice President JD Vance and other top Trump administration officials have been encouraging the public to report offensive language they see on social media against the conservative activist.

Under Secretary of State Christopher Landau even went so far as to post a message last month asking social media users to cite him in any post they deemed relevant, asserting that he was personally "disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action."
