U.S. Revokes Six Visas Over Posts Praising Charlie Kirk’s Assassination

The State Department says it will continue reviewing visa holders who endorsed political violence online.

Overview

  • The department posted screenshots on X of examples it cited, appending the phrase “Visa revoked” to each post.
  • Those affected are citizens of Argentina, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Germany and Paraguay, according to the agency.
  • Officials did not identify the individuals or disclose their visa categories or whether any were in the United States.
  • Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau directed consular monitoring of social media after the killing, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had warned revocations were underway.
  • Free-speech advocates condemned the action, and legal groups including the Consular Accountability Project offered pro bono assistance to affected individuals, as the administration pursues broader social‑media vetting.
