""In light of yesterday's horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country," Landau posted on X on September 11. "I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action," he continued. "Please feel free to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention so that the @StateDept can protect the American people.""
""On September 10, Kirk was fatally shot during an appearance at Utah Valley University. Before any arrests were made, President Donald Trump blamed the \"radical left\" for Kirk's killing, vowing to \"find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence.\" The day after Kirk's death, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau put out a call for people to report \"foreigners\" to the State Department who post on social media \"praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event.\""
Charlie Kirk was fatally shot on September 10 during an appearance at Utah Valley University. President Donald Trump blamed the "radical left" before arrests and vowed to find those who contributed to the atrocity and other political violence. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau asked the public to report foreigners who post on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and directed consular officials to take action. Landau called foreigners who glorify violence and hatred unwelcome visitors and pinned the appeal to his X page. Republican officials seized on the killing to target immigrants and press for limits on speech.
