  "account": "A recent online claim alleges that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a visa revocation for individuals in the US who mock Charlie Kirk's assassination. However, this is not accurate. Rubio did state in September 2025 that visas would be revoked for those who celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination, but no new announcement was made around September 14, 2026. The Trump administration was reportedly looking into names of foreigners who celebrated Charlie's death, but President Trump confirmed they hadn't revoked any visas, stating they \"don't like that\" and the people who celebrated were \"sick\" and \"deranged.\" Rubio mentioned the State Department had been denying visas to people who celebrated Charlie's death, emphasizing they weren't welcome in the country.",
  "summary": "A viral post claims that Marco Rubio recently announced that anyone with a visa in the US will have it immediately revoked if they mock Charlie Kirk’s murder.",

    "Trump administration investigated foreigners who celebrated Charlie Kirk's death.",
