Rubio: Visa Revocations ‘Underway’ Over Charlie Kirk Assassination Celebrations

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday that “visa revocations are under way” for foreign visitors celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk.

“America will host foreigners who celebrate the death of our fellow citizens,” Rubio said in a post on the social media platform X. “Visa revocations are under way. If you are here on a visa and cheering on the public assassination of a political figure, prepare to be deported.”

Kirk, 31, was fatally shot at an event on the campus of Utah Valley University last week. The conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder was a close ally of President Trump and other administration officials.

During an interview with Fox News on Monday, Rubio said that the State Department will not grant visas to those celebrating Kirk’s death, and will revoke visas from those doing so.

“We are not in the business of inviting people to visit our country who are going to be involved in negative and destructive, okay,” Rubio added. “If I invite someone, if we invite someone to visit the United States of America, as a student, as a tourist, as whatever, then the standard they should be held to is very high.”
