Axios published on 7 April 2025 an article titled "South Sudan Contradicts Rubio's Reasoning for Visa Revocation" by Avery Lotz.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders citing the failure of the country's government to accept repatriated citizens in a timely manner. South Sudan responded that this decision stems from a single deportee who is Congolese and not South Sudanese.
