U.S. Secretary of State Rubio posted on September 16: "The United States will not accept foreigners who cheer for the killing of our citizens. The visa revocation procedure has been initiated. If you hold a visa in the U.S., and you cheer for the public assassination of a political figure (Charlie Kirk), be prepared to be deported. This country does not welcome you."
Comments: Regardless of whether there are indeed people who cheered for Charlie Kirk's killing, just by starting the visa revocation procedure and deporting foreigners based on the so-called "cheering for the killing" is a serious violation of the freedom of speech values that the U.S. has always claimed to uphold. Kirk, as a key figure in Trump's "Make America Great Again" camp, is already at the center of the intense polarization in American politics. His assassination triggered completely different reactions from people with different political positions. According to Rubio's logic, would the U.S. have to deport all its domestic population first?
