This week, the Trump administration revoked the visas of six foreigners.

They weren’t revoked because these individuals committed, or were even accused of, any crime. 

They didn’t commit visa fraud or do anything that would normally spark such a reaction.

The reason they lost their visas? They made rude jokes online about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

No hearing, no investigation…and just like that, their right to live, work, or even visit the United States was gone in the blink of an eye.

To be clear, I find people mocking Kirk and celebrating his assassination to be completely abhorrent. 

Frankly, anyone who celebrates something like that isn’t someone I’d want to share a country with.

But the fact that these visas, which were granted through a lawful process, can be revoked by a single executive decree is a stark reminder that governments can strip away rights you assumed were ironclad. 

Sure, maybe now it’s just six foreigners who said some really nasty things about the murder of an innocent man…

…but it doesn’t take many more logical leaps to see how this same kind of power could easily be used to go much further.

Just a few weeks ago, I sent out an email titled “You’re One Law Away From Losing Your Passport”, in which I discussed the attempt of U.S. Republicans to put forward a bill that would make it easier for the federal government to revoke passports from U.S. citizens. 

That particular provision was removed from the bill, but believe me, the idea remains alive and well in the minds of many politicians and government bureaucrats. 

Because once governments discover they can weaponize “immigration law” against dissent, they will never stop.

They’ll simply move the goalposts and redefine who counts as a threat.

Today, it’s six foreigners celebrating a murder. 

Tomorrow, it’s anyone who questions the narrative.

That’s why I keep saying this: 

Having a second passport isn’t some luxury reserved for ultra-wealthy globetrotters; it’s insurance against political insanity, censorship, and control…

…and it’s an absolute necessity for anyone who refuses to let their freedom depend on the whims of politicians.

Speak soon,

Mikkel
