The United States is revoking all visas for South Sudanese passport holders and blocking new arrivals, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Saturday, complaining the African nation is not accepting its nationals expelled from the U.S. The State Department "is taking actions to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and prevent further issuance to prevent entry," Rubio said in a statement.
Main Idea: Marco Rubio said the State Department will revoke all visas for South Sudanese passport holders and stop new visas over South Sudan’s refusal to take back people expelled from the U.S.
Key Points:
US travelers, employers, and colleges may face more visa delays and paperwork if the State Department widens this crackdown. The move may also strain relations with a fragile country and add uncertainty for immigration policy.
