US Bars Foreigners Glorifying Charlie Kirk Assassination

Following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the U.S. State Department, led by Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau, announced it will bar entry to foreigners who glorify, praise, or make light of the killing. Landau urged the public to report any such comments on social media to consular officials, who are actively monitoring for offending posts. This action aligns with prior measures under President Trump’s administration to deny visas to foreigners promoting violence and hatred. Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University, and the shooter remains at large. The State Department also indicated it will review the legal status of immigrants in the U.S. who have expressed similar sentiments. Both Democratic and Republican leaders have condemned the violence, emphasizing the seriousness of the incident and the government’s response.
