The United States has started canceling visas of South Sudan citizens due to concerns over immigration practices. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced this decision and expressed frustration with South Sudan’s failure to cooperate on deportations.

Rubio emphasized that countries must take back their citizens when deported. He criticized the South Sudan government for not fulfilling this responsibility. This ongoing issue has led the US to take strict action.

Future Visa Issuance to South Sudan Citizens Also Blocked

The US government has also decided to stop issuing new visas to individuals with South Sudanese passports. This move effectively blocks future entry of South Sudan citizens into the country.

Rubio stated that South Sudan's continued inaction has forced the US to act firmly. He said the new visa restrictions are meant to ensure compliance with international immigration agreements.
