US Revokes Visas for South Sudanese Over Deportation Delays

The United States government has announced the revocation of visas for a number of South Sudanese citizens, citing delays in the acceptance of deportees. Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained that the decision was made because the transitional government of South Sudan has not been promptly accepting its citizens who are being deported from the United States.

The US government has been working to deport individuals who have violated US laws and are subject to deportation orders. However, the process has been hampered by the South Sudanese government's reluctance to accept these individuals in a timely manner, according to US officials. This has led to overcrowding in detention facilities and increased costs for the US government.

The visa revocation policy is intended to put pressure on the South Sudanese government to cooperate more effectively with US deportation efforts. The specific individuals affected by the visa revocations have not been publicly identified, but the action is expected to impact government officials and other South Sudanese citizens who frequently travel to the United States. It remains to be seen how the South Sudanese government will respond to this action and whether it will lead to a resolution of the deportation issue.
