Overview

• Officials said the canceled visas belonged to nationals of Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Paraguay and South Africa, without naming the individuals.
• The department posted screenshots on X of the cited comments and stamped each example with the words "Visa revoked."
• Authorities did not disclose what types of visas were canceled or whether any of the six were in the United States at the time.
• The announcement came the same day President Trump posthumously awarded Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom on what would have been his 32nd birthday.
• The move follows earlier calls by Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau to flag posts praising the killing and warnings from Secretary Marco Rubio, drawing criticism from civil-liberties advocates and highlighting legal questions about penalizing speech through visa actions.
