US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced that foreign nationals who are celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk will be deported.

Kirk, a close ally of President Donald Trump, was assassinated last week when he was addressing students at a university.

His alleged killer was arrested and is expected to appear in court this week.

Rubio says the State Department is reviewing the visas of people who have been seen condoning and celebrating Kirk’s death.

“We have no business of inviting people to visit our country who are going to be involved in negative and destructive behaviour and they are already here; we should revoke their visa,” says Rubio.
