WASHINGTON (Reuters)-United States Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau warned on Thursday that Washington can take action against foreigners who praise, rationalize or minimize conservative, adding that he instructed consular staff to take appropriate measures.
“In the light of yesterday’s terrible murder of an important political figure, I want to emphasize that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors in our country,” Landau said in a publication on the X platform.
“I was disgusted to see some people on social networks praising, rationalizing or making little case of the event and directed our consular staff to take the right measures.”

Landau did not go into detail about the action.
Some users responded to Landau’s publication with profile and publication screen catches, although it was not clear if the accounts signaled by the American visa carriers.
State Department number two responded to some of these comments, saying that it would instruct consular employees to monitor the comments in the publication, which until Thursday afternoon had more than 2,000 answers.

Asked about Landau’s publication, a state department spokesman said that “this government does not believe that the United States should be given a view to people whose presence in our country is not aligned with US national security interests.”
He did not answer, however, to the questions about whether anyone had been identified to have a revoked visa or how consular staff would evaluate the persons indicated in response to Landau’s publication.

He was killed on Wednesday with a single shot while giving a lecture at a university in Utah, in which President Donald Trump called “heinous murder.”
The Trump government has undertaken a wide repression of immigration, including an intensification of the verification of social networks and the revocation of thousands of student visas, as well as trying to shorten the duration of others.
