The Trump administration is revoking all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders over the African nation’s failure to accept repatriated citizens.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio made the announcement Saturday, calling the action part of the administration’s efforts to ramp up immigration enforcement.
“Effective immediately, the United States Department of State is taking actions to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and prevent further issuance to prevent entry into the United States by South Sudanese passport holders,” Rubio said in a press statement.
“Every country must accept the return of its citizens in a timely manner when another country, including the United States, seeks to remove them,” the statement read.
Rubio added that the new stringent policy will only be reviewed when South Sudan is in cooperation with the Trump administration’s policy.
In a post on X, Rubio further added, “Our efforts to engage diplomatically with the South Sudanese Government have been rebuffed.”
Give them a reasonable 30 days to go back, then declare them illegal aliens and kick them out….
Better yet, use the Argentinian method!
