U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that “visa revocations are under way” for any foreign visitors who are celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk.
“America will not host foreigners who celebrate the death of our fellow citizens,” he said in a social media post on Monday. “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, a 31-year-old political influencer, was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, last Wednesday. A suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was later arrested and faces seven charges including aggravated murder. Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray has said his office will be seeking the death penalty against Robinson.
Rubio is not the first
