Overview

• At least six foreign nationals lost U.S. visas for social-media posts viewed as celebrating or justifying Kirk’s killing, including one person from Germany and others from Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Brazil and Paraguay.
• The State Department posted anonymized examples of flagged comments, including a German-language message, said identities would not be disclosed, and signaled more revocations are planned.
• Germany’s embassy in Washington said it noted the announcement and would offer consular assistance to the affected person upon request.
• In a White House Rose Garden ceremony, Erika Kirk accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her late husband as President Trump praised him as a “martyr” and condemned what he called “radical left” violence; Argentina’s President Javier Milei attended.
• Kirk was shot on Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University; 22-year-old Tyler Robinson is charged with murder and could face the death penalty, and U.S. officials had warned since September that visa holders who praised the attack could face consequences.
