A Utah judge ordered the wife of Charlie Kirk and the couple’s two children into protective custody on Wednesday, citing an immediate danger posed by the man accused of assassinating the conservative activist.
The order prohibits any form of contact between the suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, and Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, 36.
According to court records, the restrictions extend to phone, email, text, social media, or mail.
Robinson is also barred from harassment, threats, stalking, or “any other conduct that would place the protected person or designated family or household members in reasonable fear of bodily injury,” the Western Journal reported.
Robinson remains held without bail at the Utah County Jail following his arrest in connection with the September 10 killing of Charlie Kirk.
While he will not be released on his own recognizance, the court noted he may have access to a phone inside the facility, prompting the judge to impose the protective order to prevent any direct or indirect communication with the Kirk family.
The legal action came as Erika Kirk delivered her first public remarks since her husband’s death.

Appearing before cameras on Friday, she told supporters that her husband’s mission would endure despite his assassination.
“If you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea,” she said.
“You have no idea what you have just unleashed across this entire country and this world. You have no idea. You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.”

She added that her late husband’s work through his American Comeback tour will continue.
“Our campus tour this fall will continue. There will be even more tours in the years to come,” she stated.
The American Comeback tour is scheduled to resume on September 30 at Utah State University in Logan.
The school confirmed it has taken additional measures to secure the event.
“USU works diligently to protect the safety of our community and has a robust plan that is evaluated routinely,” Amanda DeRito, associate vice president for strategic communications, told KTVX.
“Even during times without heightened safety concerns, Utah State’s Department of Public Safety collaborates with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to ensure security measures at campus events are planned and staffed according to industry best practices, including a thorough comprehensive threat assessment, detailed security planning, deployment of a diverse array of security assets, effective crowd management, close protection for the speaker, clear communication and coordination, and readiness for crisis response.”
The protective order remains in effect as Robinson awaits trial.
