The U.S. State Department has revoked visas of six foreign nationals from various countries for making inflammatory social media comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination. Kirk, a conservative activist, was shot and killed on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University. The individuals made comments suggesting Kirk deserved to be killed.
This action is part of a broader government effort to crack down on comments celebrating Kirk's death. The Pentagon and Secret Service have also taken disciplinary action against their personnel who posted negative comments.
While the government has broad authority to refuse entry to non-citizens, the legal basis for revoking visas based on speech remains somewhat unclear according to legal experts.
