Overview

• Sunday’s funeral at State Farm Stadium in Glendale is expected to draw a massive crowd, with local police preparing for more than 100,000 people due to Kirk’s popularity and the presence of the president and other senior officials.
• Speakers slated to honor Kirk include President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Erika Kirk, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and White House officials Stephen Miller and Susie Wiles, according to event planning details reported by El Periódico.
• Turning Point USA’s board unanimously installed Erika Kirk as CEO and board chair, and she pledged to continue the organization’s campus tour and broader work started by her late husband.
• Authorities say 22-year-old Tyler Robinson surrendered two days after the shooting; investigators recovered a Mauser rifle and casings with engraved messages, and prosecutors have indicated they will seek the death penalty while the motive remains undetermined.
• Political and media fallout has intensified, with threats to revoke visas for those who celebrate the killing and workplace penalties for similar conduct, including ABC’s indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show, even as some Republicans warn that such measures jeopardize free-expression principles.
