The United States revokes visas for South Sudanese citizens after failing to repatriate nationals | World News
The U.S. State Department has announced immediate measures to revoke all visas held by South Sudan passport holders and to prevent failure to cooperate in South Sudan after its citizens return in a timely manner.
“It’s time for the South Sudan transitional government to stop using the United States. Implementing our country’s immigration laws is crucial to the national security and public safety of the United States. Every country must return to U.S. citizens in other countries in other countries in the way of other countries in order to include it, including them, including them, and countries including them.
“As South Sudan’s transitional government fails to fully respect this principle and take effect immediately, the U.S. State Department is taking action to revoke all visas held by South Sudan passport holders and prevent further issuance to prevent South Sudan passport holders from entering the United States. We will be ready to review South Sudan’s lawsuit.”
In early March, the United States announced a new visa restriction policy targeting foreign government officials who were forced to return from Uyghurs and other vulnerable ethnic or religious groups.
Secretary Rubio pointed out in a statement that the policy would apply to current and former officials responsible or accomplice of such actions, highlighting the U.S. commitment to oppose China’s continued force to drive the government to expel individuals facing persecution after returning.
Rubio stressed that those sent back were at risk of forced disappearance and torture, a long-term concern about China’s treatment of Uyghurs and other minorities.
The U.S. government has repeatedly condemned such actions based on well-documented human rights acts, including those classified as genocide and crimes against humanity.
The U.S. Secretary of State reiterated that China has carried out systematic persecution of Ugles and the United States is urging governments around the world to avoid forcibly returning individuals to China under any circumstances.
