The US has revoked visas for all South Sudanese passport holders, following criticism of the country's failure to timely accept repatriated citizens. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that it is a nation's duty to accept its citizens. This move has raised concerns about returning individuals to South Sudan, which is facing severe instability and potential civil war. Previously, South Sudanese citizens had protective immigration status, but the increasing strictness of US immigration policies suggests a shift towards heightened enforcement and less tolerance for non-compliance with repatriation protocols.
"Every country must accept the return of its citizens in a timely manner when another country, including the United States, seeks to remove them."
"It is time for the transitional government of South Sudan to stop taking advantage of the United States."
