Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Saturday that the Trump administration would begin pulling visas for South Sudanese nationals currently in the U.S. and reject any new visa requests.
Rubio explained in a post on social media that the move was meant to pressure South Sudan to cooperate with America’s repatriation flights as the administration works to deport illegal aliens.
‘South Sudan’s OWN EMBASSY in Washington certified this particular individual as one of their nationals.’
Rubio wrote, “I am taking actions to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and to restrict any further issuance to prevent entry into the United States, effective immediately, due to the failure of South Sudan’s transitional government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner.”
