On September 12, 2025, the U.S. State Department decided the latest Olympic sport isn’t swimming or running but Immigration Gatekeeping 2.0. Following the tragic shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau took to X to declare that foreigners praising or joking about the assassination aren’t welcome in the country. This fresh wave follows Trump-era policies targeting students caught waving pro-Palestinian signs on cam. Meanwhile, police confirmed they found the murder weapon but the suspect is still at large. In the background, the House floor turned into a chaos remix over Kirk’s death, proving politics missed the memo to adult. No kudos for glorifying violence. Immigration officials have been put on social media Gladiator duty to evict trolls faster than you can say ā€˜cancel culture meets border patrol.’
