Sat Apr 05 23:33:00 UTC 2025: ## US Revokes Visas for All South Sudanese Citizens
**Washington, April 6, 2025** – The United States has announced the immediate revocation of all visas held by South Sudanese citizens. This drastic measure, announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, is a direct response to South Sudan’s refusal to accept the repatriation of its citizens deported from the US.
Secretary Rubio stated that South Sudan’s actions violate the principle of a nation’s responsibility to accept the return of its own citizens. The US Department of State will actively revoke existing visas and prevent the issuance of new ones, effectively barring South Sudanese passport holders from entering the country. The Secretary indicated that this policy will be reviewed only when South Sudan demonstrates full cooperation on repatriation.
