U.S. revoking visas for individuals allegedly rejoicing over Charlie Kirk's demise, as asserted by Rubio
In the wake of the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the United States government has taken action against foreigners who are celebrating the event.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that visas are being revoked and denied to individuals in the US on a visa who are seen to be cheering on the public assassination of a political figure. Rubio stated, "Prepare to be deported if you are a foreigner in the United States on a visa and celebrating the death of a political figure."
US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau issued a similar warning last week, stating that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to the United States. Landau has directed US consular officials to undertake appropriate action against foreigners praising, rationalizing, or making light of the public assassination of a political figure.
Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old, has been named as the suspected shooter in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Prosecutors brought a murder charge against Robinson on Tuesday, alleging that he shot Kirk in the neck with a bolt-action rifle from the roof of a nearby building on campus. The United States government has officially charged Robinson with murder, as well as weapons violations and obstruction of justice.
The Trump administration has threatened to crack down on what it calls the "radical left" after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. US Attorney General Pam Bondi has blamed "left-wing radicals" for the shooting and stated that they will be held accountable.
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated that American Airlines had grounded pilots who were celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. Duffy described the behavior as disgusting and stated that those involved should be fired.
However, no new information has been provided about visa revocations or denials, or about any European citizens being affected by Washington's latest policy. It remains unclear how many visas have been revoked or denied, or on what grounds the State Department is taking such action.
Her comments quickly drew criticism from commentators on both the left and the right, who highlighted that there is no exception for hate speech under the First Amendment. The politically charged atmosphere following the assassination of Charlie Kirk is reflected in the statements from US officials threatening to act against left-wing groups.
It is unclear whether any European citizens have been affected by Washington's latest policy. Bondi stated that there is free speech, but also hate speech, and that those targeting anyone with hate speech will be targeted and pursued.
In conclusion, the United States government is taking action against foreigners who are seen to be celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The Trump administration has threatened to crack down on the "radical left" following the shooting, and US officials have grounded pilots and threatened to revoke and deny visas to those involved. However, the extent of these actions and the impact on European citizens remains unclear.
