Sept. 16 (UPI) -- The State Department is revoking the visas of non-citizens in the United States "celebrating" the shooting death of conservative provocateur and activist Charlie Kirk, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the visa revocations were "under way" on X on Monday, in a post accompanied by a clip from a Fox News interview in which he said, "We are not in the business of inviting people to visit our country who are going to be involved in negative and destructive behavior."
"America will not host foreigners who celebrate the death of our fellow citizens," Rubio said on X.
Kirk, a divisive far-right figure and Trump ally, was fatally shot on Wednesday during a speaking event at a Utah university. Since then, the Trump administration and conservatives have condemned those who have criticized Kirk online following his death.
