United States Revokes Travel Permits of 6 International Visitors Over Social Media Remarks Criticizing Charlie Kirk

America's Department of State announced on Tuesday that it had withdrawn the entry permits of six non-citizens due to online comments regarding the assassination of conservative figure Charlie Kirk.

"The United States has zero requirement to welcome international visitors who call for harm on our people," announced the Department of State in an official communication. "Our department continues to locate permit holders who applauded the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk."

Examples of Entry Permit Withdrawals

The department then listed six "cases of aliens who are no longer welcome in the US" in a series on the online platform.

The thread included screenshots and statements from users stated to be foreign nationals from Argentinian, Brazil, Germany, Mexican, Paraguayan and South African.

Identities Somewhat Disclosed

None of the individuals was identified by full identity, but the captures made it feasible to identify the details of 2 people, including an individual who had been targeted for harassment by right-wing users on the site.

"Charlie Kirk will not go down as a champion," stated a particular of the comments shared online. "He served to fake support for a effort of extremist low-class!"

Administration Position and Earlier Steps

The series ended with a announcement from the agency that the government "shall protect our borders, our way of life, and our people by enforcing our immigration laws. Foreign nationals who exploit America's openness while praising the killing of our people will be deported."

Recently, a deputy secretary of state encouraged social media members to send him content negative about Kirk, stating he was "disgusted to see certain people on digital networks applauding, justifying, or minimizing the incident, and have directed our visa officers to undertake appropriate action."

Additional Entry Measures

  • The administration has earlier increased measures to locate and possibly expel thousands of foreign students it claims of engaging in demonstrations in the form of demonstrations against Israel's extensive casualties of Palestine's residents in Gaza.
  • The government has furthermore mandated foreign visitors to make their social media pages visible so that they can be examined before they are authorized to enter the US.
  • In recent months, the leadership has expelled South Africa's ambassador to the US for statements negative about the government.
  • Furthermore, it has revoked a visa for the Palestinian president to participate in the UN meeting in New York.
  • The leadership has also revoked travel documents of a UK music group.

Examination of Entry Possessors

The government has also announced it is assessing the status of more than 55 million possessors of visas to come to the US for possible infringements of its policies.

Criticism from Civil Liberties Groups

These steps have been condemned by liberties associations as clear violations of fundamental guarantees for free speech, which apply to anyone in the US, besides residents.
