Washington: Immigrants who celebrated the assassination of right-wing influencer and Donald Trump aide Charlie Kirk are in big trouble.
Marco Rubio, the secretary of state in the Trump administration, slammed those who were ‘celebrating’ the death of Kirk, and said that “visa revocations are underway” for such foreigners.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Marco
Rubio shared a video of himself on X, saying they are not “in the business of inviting people to visit our country who are going to be involved in negative and destructive behaviour.”
“We invite someone to visit the United States of America as a student, as a tourist, as whatever, then the standard they should be held to is very high. We shouldn’t be bringing people into this country, we shouldn’t be giving visas to people who are gonna come to the United States and do things like celebrate the murder, the execution, the assassination of a political figure. And if they are already here, we should be revoking them,” he stated.
Saying that such people are ‘not welcome’ in the US, Rubio wrote: “America will not host foreigners who celebrate the death of our fellow citizens. Visa revocations are under way. If you are here on a visa and cheering on the public assassination of a political figure, prepare to be deported. You are not welcome in this country,” he wrote.
Kirk was shot dead on September 10 when he was attending an event at Utah Valley University.
Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old man from Utah, is in the custody of the authorities for allegedly killing Kirk.
