President Donald Trump's administration has revoked the visas of six foreigners who made disparaging remarks about the death of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, The Hill reported. The State Department said it has "no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans" as the left panics about the chilling effect on free speech.
The individuals singled out include an Argentine national, a Brazilian national, a German national, a Mexican national, a Paraguayan national, and a South African national. The statement department made it clear in a post to X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday that it was completely within its rights to do so before presenting a thread with the statements from each.
"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.," it said before sharing each statement in a thread.

As the State Department made clear, the U.S. does not have to admit people who don't align with the values of this nation. Whereas Freedom of Speech protections in the First Amendment of the Constitution apply to Americans, those in the U.S. on visas are in the nation as a privilege rather than a right.
One of the objectionable remarks included in the State Department's thread came from an Argentine claiming that the late conservative icon "devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric" and therefore deserves eternal hellfire. The German national said that "when fascists die, democrats don’t complain" in celebration of Kirk's murder.
The Paraguayan national wrote that "Charlie Kirk was a son of a b**** and he died by his own rules," but the Mexican national got particularly nasty. The individual wrote that Kirk "died being a racist, he died being a misogynist" and determined that "there are people who deserve to die," implying that Kirk was one of them.
"There are people who would make the world better off dead," the Mexican national wrote. The South African individual wrote that the people grieving Kirk's death are "hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom," and that Kirk "was used to astroturf a movement of white nationalist trailer trash."
The State Department said that these statements led to the revocation of their visas as the only option. "@POTUS and @SecRubio 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," a post at the end of the lengthy thread said.
While foreign-born detractors had horrible things to say about Kirk, Trump honored his legacy on Tuesday by posthumously awarding him the Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. "Charlie Kirk was a martyr for truth and for freedom," Trump said from the Rose Garden ceremony, the New York Post reported.
Charlie Kirk's wife, Erika Kirk, was in attendance to accept the award on her husband's behalf. "And from Socrates to Saint Peter, from Abraham Lincoln to Martin Luther King, those who change history the most — and he really did — have always risked their lives for causes they were put on Earth to defend," Trump went on about the deceased honoree.
“We’ve watched legions of far-left radicals resort to desperate acts of violence and terror because they know that their ideas and arguments are persuading no one. They know that they’re failing,” Trump added, alluding to the suspected killer. "They have the devil’s ideology, and they’re failing. And they know it. They feel it, and they become violent."
The president, who only returned from Egypt at 3 a.m. on Tuesday, said he "raced back halfway around the globe" to present the medal on Charlie Kirk's birthday. "He should have been turning 32 years old," Trump noted.
Charlie Kirk was an American hero, and he deserves to be treated as such. While Americans have Freedom of Speech rights, guests in this nation do not, and those who choose to say objectionable things about Charlie Kirk absolutely should be shown the door. It's the least we as a nation can do for his grieving family.
