By Breaking Belize News Staff: Foreigners, including Belizeans, who have been celebrating or glorifying the death of Charlie Kirk online have been warned by the US State Department that they may not be permitted in the United States.
“In light of yesterday’s horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said in a post on social media platform X.
“I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action. Please feel free to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention so that the @StateDept can protect the American people.”
Landau said in a subsequent post he would direct his consular officials to monitor replies to his X post calling out foreign nationals in the U.S. on visas who posted such rhetoric.
A State Department spokesperson, asked about Landau’s post, said: “This Administration does not believe that the United States should grant visas to persons whose presence in our country does not align with U.S. national security interests.”
In June, the State Department said it would monitor the social media posts of visa applicants and would instruct applicants to set their social media to “public.”
The State Department has already revoked over 6,000 student visas, because recipients had either overstayed visas or broken the law. The “vast majority” of legal violations were assault, driving under the influence, burglary or “support for terrorism.”
On Wednesday, Kirk, a 31-year-old conservative activist, father of two and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. The event was part of his “American Comeback Tour,” which drew a crowd of about 3,000 attendees.
