Will the US deport foreigners celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination?

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that foreign nationals who celebrate Charlie Kirk’s assassination could face deportation.

He added that the State Department is reviewing the visas of anyone caught condoning or celebrating Kirk’s death.

“We have no business inviting people who engage in negative and destructive behaviour. If they are already here, we should revoke their visas,” Rubio said.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination

Kirk, a 31-year-old ally of President Donald Trump, was shot dead last week while speaking to students at a university.

He was answering a question under a tent when a gunman fired a single shot that hit him in the neck.

Details of the attack

Former Utah congressman Jason Chaffetz, who attended the event, told Fox News that the shooting happened while Kirk was answering a question about “transgender shooters, mass shooters.”

A video later circulated showing Kirk falling as blood poured from his wound.

Investigators believe the gunman fired from a high-powered bolt-action rifle roughly 200 yards away, lying prone on the roof of a nearby building for better accuracy.

FBI-released security footage shows a young man wearing a baseball cap, dark clothing with an American flag and eagle design, and Converse-style shoes with white soles.

Trump Confirmed Arrest in Charlie Kirk Assassination Case

US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that authorities have arrested a suspect in connection with the killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

Trump said the suspect was handed over to law enforcement by someone close to him.

“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him,” Trump said in a live interview with Fox News.
