I am taking actions to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and to restrict any further issuance to prevent entry into the United States, effective immediately, due to the failure of South Sudan's transitional government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner.

Dear nations of the world:
Take back your people.
Or learn the hard way.

Let there be no mistake: the Administration of @POTUS @realDonaldTrump is committed to robust enforcement of our Nation’s immigration laws, and expects all other countries to accept repatriation of their own nationals. The Government of South Sudan has violated this obligation by refusing to accept one of their nationals certified by their own Embassy in Washington and repatriated to their country. Our efforts to engage diplomatically with the South Sudanese Government have been rebuffed. Accordingly, the @StateDept under @SecRubio has suspended ALL visas from South Sudan. Effective immediately, all visa appointments are cancelled, no new visas will be issued, no existing visas will be effective, and hence NO ONE from South Sudan will be entering the United States on a visa until this matter is resolved.

The Administration is canceling the visas of foreigners who express hatred for America and Americans, or support for terrorists that commit violence against Americans. The Constitution says the duty of government is to ensure “domestic tranquility” — we will not import conflict.
