U.S. Revokes South Sudan Visas Amid Deportation Dispute

The United States has taken a firm stance against South Sudan by revoking all existing visas for its citizens and halting the issuance of new ones. This drastic measure comes in response to South Sudan's refusal to accept the repatriation of its nationals who have been ordered deported from the U.S. The decision, announced on April 5, 2025, marks a significant escalation in the ongoing diplomatic tensions between the two nations.

The Trump administration's move is part of a broader policy to enforce immigration laws more stringently. The U.S. State Department emphasized that this action is necessary to defend America's security and uphold the integrity of its immigration system. The revoked visas affect South Sudanese individuals currently in the U.S., who now face immediate challenges regarding their legal status.

South Sudan has yet to respond officially to the U.S. decision, but the move is likely to strain relations further. The international community is watching closely, as this could set a precedent for how countries handle deportation and visa issues in the future.
