US Withdraws Travel Permits of 6 Non-Citizens Over Social Media Comments About Charlie Kirk

The Department of State announced on this week that it had withdrawn the visas of 6 foreign nationals due to social media remarks made about the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

"The United States has no obligation to welcome foreigners who celebrate violence on US citizens," announced the Department of State in an official communication. "The State Department continues to locate document holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk."

Cases of Visa Withdrawals

The office then provided 6 "examples of aliens who are now barred in the US" in a thread on the digital network.

The chain included screenshots and statements from people identified as international visitors from Argentinian, Brazilian, German, Mexico, Paraguayan and South Africa.

Details Partially Revealed

None of the people was named by full identity, but the screenshots made it feasible to identify the details of 2 persons, one of them an individual who had been focused on for abuse by conservatives on the network.

"Charlie Kirk will not be seen as a champion," stated an example of the comments posted online. "He functioned to astroturf a movement of racist low-class!"

Leadership Stance and Earlier Measures

The thread ended with a declaration from the State Department that the administration "will safeguard our boundaries, our way of life, and our citizens by implementing our immigration laws. Aliens who exploit America's hospitality while celebrating the murder of our residents will be deported."

Last month, a assistant official of state urged online users to share him comments critical of Kirk, saying he was "disgusted to see certain people on social media celebrating, rationalizing, or minimizing the event, and have ordered our consular officials to undertake appropriate action."

Wider Immigration Policies

• The leadership has earlier expanded efforts to find and possibly expel thousands of international scholars it claims of engaging in demonstrations through demonstrations against Israel's mass killing of Palestinian people in Gaza.
• The administration has additionally required foreign visitors to make their online accounts visible so that they can be examined before they are permitted to come to the United States.
• In recently, the administration has expelled the South African diplomat to the US for statements negative about the leadership.
• Additionally, it has withdrawn a visa for the Palestine's leader to attend the United Nations General Assembly in NYC.
• The leadership has also cancelled visas of a British music group.

Review of Entry Owners

The leadership has also said it is reviewing the situation of over 55,000,000 holders of visas to visit the US for possible infringements of its standards.

Criticism from Rights Groups

These actions have been questioned by liberties organizations as blatant breaches of fundamental safeguards for free speech, which cover all people in the US, not only residents.
