The US State Department said Tuesday it has revoked the visas of several individuals who publicly celebrated the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Kirk, who co-founded Turning Point USA and rose to fame debating politics on college campuses, was killed by a sniper last month while speaking to students in Utah.

In a post on X on Tuesday — Kirk’s birthday — the State Department said the U.S “has no obligation to accommodate foreigners who wish for the death of Americans.”

The department posted screenshots of messages and quotes it said were made by six people from Germany, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay and South Africa. An Argentinian national reportedly accused Kirk of spreading racist views and claimed he had done so “earned” to die, while a German citizen reportedly wrote: “When fascists die, Democrats don’t complain.” A person from Brazil is said to have written that Kirk “was the reason for a Nazi rally where they marched in his honor” and had “died too late.”

The Foreign Ministry said these were messages “just a few examples of aliens who are no longer welcome in the US,” adding that it would continue to identify foreigners who celebrated Kirk’s death.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump posthumously awarded Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. Kirk’s widow, Erika, accepted the medal on his behalf.

Dozens of people in the US have lost their jobs or been suspended for mocking or justifying Kirk’s death. Although most Democrats condemned the killing, Trump and other Republicans blamed it “radical left” for incitement to political violence.
