Visa Purge 2025: Cheering Charlie Kirk's Death Gets You Deported Faster Than TikTok Trends
On Monday night, Secretary of State Marco Rubio hopped on X to announce that visa revocations 'are under way' for non-U.S. citizens celebrating the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot last Wednesday in Utah. As if the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown targeting hundreds of students with pro-Palestinian views wasn’t dramatic enough, now foreigners must beware: if you praise, rationalize, or even crack a dark joke about Kirk’s death, expect your coveted visa to vanish faster than a Wi-Fi signal in a basement. Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau’s social media snitch fest apparently kicked off the investigation, as hosting murder celebrators is apparently below America’s hospitality standards, per Rubio’s pressuring that 'visiting' implies good behavior — not political murder fandom. State Department reps are tight-lipped about exactly how many visas have been yanked, but hey, if you’ve been caught 'cheering the public assassination of a political figure,' it’s time to pack your bags—no refunds.
