The U.S. Department of State has come up with the idea of excluding from America those foreigners who celebrate murder.
Specifically, the assassination this week of conservative free speech activist Charlie Kirk.
"In light of yesterday's horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country," Christopher Landau, deputy secretary of state, said.
"I have been 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," he wrote. "Please feel free to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention so that the @StateDept can protect the American people.
Authorities announced on Friday that Tyler Robinson, 22, of Utah, who allegedly had been radicalized in recent months and had expressed hate for Kirk, was taken into custody in the murder.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio earlier had confirmed a new visa policy that provides that foreign nationals visiting or living in the country legally could lose their visa status if they violate the law.
A department spokesman confirmed, "This administration does not believe that the United States should grant visas to persons whose presence in our country does not align with US national security interests."
A report at Gateway Hispanic said the death of Kirk has "unleashed a wave of outrage, particularly due to the mockery and celebrations that have emerged on social media."
The result was Rubio's announcement to ban foreign nationals who celebrated Kirk's assassination, which was confirmed by Landau's posting.
The report said, "The United States will not tolerate the glorification of violence from abroad."
