US EditionRubio: U.S. has begun revoking visas over 'celebrating' Kirk's death

- The visa cancellations came after the fatal shooting of Kirk on September 10 while he was speaking at a university event in Utah, and increased following public displays of support for his killing.
- Vice President J.D. Vance urged the public to report those celebrating Kirk's death, including informing employers, emphasizing a stance against political violence and incivility.
- Rubio stated on X that the United States will not tolerate foreign visitors who express approval of the killing of American citizens and cautioned that those holding visas who engage in such conduct should expect deportation.
- The U.S. has started denying and revoking visas in these cases, signaling a crackdown on destructive conduct abroad and reinforcing social media vetting as part of visa issuance policies.
