The State Department, under the leadership of Secretary Marco Rubio, announced that it would ban all foreigners who downplayed the death of MAGA influencer 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," Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau announced Thursday on X.

"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 added.

Landau asked Kirk fans "to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention so that the @StateDept can protect the American people." He noted that the consular officials were monitoring social media for reports of offending posts.
