The Republican government of the United States revoked Serena Luciano's residency visa, a young woman from Córdoba who was living in Chicago and studying at the University of Illinois. The measure was taken after she posted a message on social media celebrating the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The crime occurred in September during a conference in Utah, and his death caused shock throughout the country.
Luciano, who presented herself on social media as "an Argentine girl in Chicago," worked at the UIC College of Architecture, Design, and the Arts. Her offensive message toward a U.S. citizen provoked immediate repudiation from thousands of users. Since then, her case went viral and was closely followed by supporters of the Republican Party.
The State Department announced that it had withdrawn residency permits from six foreigners for "publicly celebrating the heinous attack against a U.S. citizen". In its official statement, the agency was blunt: "The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish for the death of Americans." The decision was celebrated by conservative sectors as a demonstration of respect for life and the country's values.

Repercussions and message from the U.S. government
Luciano's post, where she wrote that Kirk "can rot in his own shit," was considered an apology for the crime by authorities and citizens. The post also stated, "I don't care about the death of someone who dedicated his life to spreading racist, xenophobic, and misogynistic speeches," an expression that intensified public rejection. Within a few hours, the message went viral and caused a wave of complaints that led to her identification and subsequent expulsion.
After the scandal, the young woman deleted her personal accounts, but the content had already been widely disseminated. Social pressure was decisive for the State Department to act quickly and impose the sanction. The decision also affected five other foreigners from Mexico, Brazil, Germany, South Africa, and Paraguay who had made similar posts.
In a forceful conclusion, the U.S. government's statement said: "Foreigners who take advantage of the hospitality of the United States while celebrating the murder of our citizens will be expelled." With this measure, Washington reaffirmed its commitment to defending freedom and respect for life, values for which Charlie Kirk was widely recognized.
