State Department Threatens Action Against Immigrants Who Praise Killing of Charlie Kirk
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau on Thursday warned
immigrants against "praising, rationalizing or making light of" Charlie
Kirk's killing, writing on social media, "foreigners who glorify
violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country." Kirk had a
long history of demonizing immigrants and promoted the white supremacist
conspiracy theory known as the "great replacement," including these
remarks in 2024.

Charlie Kirk: "The 'great replacement' strategy, which is well underway
every single day on our southern border, is a strategy to replace white
rural America with something different."
