The individuals, representing various countries, posted messages mocking Kirk's death and those grieving him. Secretary of State Marco Rubio initiated the revocation process, warning that such behavior would lead to deportation. Charlie Kirk was fatally shot on September 10th while hosting a debate in Utah.
