The U.S. State Department announced Tuesday that six foreign nationals had their visas revoked after they made online posts celebrating the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
The agency said the individuals expressed approval of violence against Americans and are no longer welcome in the United States.
In a post to X, the State Department wrote, “The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans. The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk. Here are just a few examples of aliens who are no longer welcome in the U.S.”

A South African national was also identified in the post, having written, “They’re hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom,” and that Kirk was “used to astroturf a movement of white nationalist trailer trash.”
That person’s visa was also revoked, according to the State Department.

The State Department’s announcement featured six total cases of foreign nationals who posted similar remarks.
Following the examples, the agency wrote, “[President Trump] and [Secretary Rubio] will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws. Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed.”

Officials said the action reflects an ongoing policy to deny U.S. entry or residency to foreign citizens who promote or glorify violence against Americans.
The agency reiterated that U.S. visas are privileges granted to individuals who uphold American law and values, not rights extended to those who advocate harm against citizens.
The revocations follow the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which occurred at Utah Valley University, where he had been speaking to students during a campus event.
The incident prompted widespread condemnation and an ongoing investigation by law enforcement.
Federal officials have not released further details regarding the assailant or motive.
In recent weeks, the State Department has also taken additional measures to revoke visas from foreign nationals accused of criminal activity or public support for terrorism.
Those actions have included cancellations of student and work visas, as well as restrictions placed on individuals suspected of engaging in violent or extremist behavior while in the United States.

The Department emphasized that its enforcement decisions align with immigration law and national security directives under the Trump administration.
A spokesperson for the agency said its policies aim to safeguard U.S. citizens and maintain the integrity of the nation’s immigration system.
Officials said more reviews are ongoing to identify visa holders who have publicly endorsed or encouraged violence against Americans.
The State Department confirmed it would continue to publish updates on visa actions involving individuals who violate U.S. entry standards.
