⚡️🇺🇸🇿🇦 — Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a new visa restriction policy under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act targeting foreign nationals responsible for or complicit in the enactment or implementation of laws or policies that enable uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination, and/or the incitement of imminent violence against members of minority ethnic or racial groups in South Africa.

➡️ He said the United States remains gravely concerned about racially motivated crime and government-sponsored discrimination against Afrikaners and other minority populations, including race-based discriminatory legislation, threats of land expropriation without compensation, and incitement of racial violence through dehumanizing chants and slogans, as stated in President Trump’s Executive Order 14204.

➡️ Rubio said the South African government has not adequately addressed these previously laid out concerns. He stated that the United States will not allow such behavior to go unchecked, adding that these actions directly undermine peace, economic stability, and the rule of law and are incompatible with the pillars of America’s foreign policy. He once again strongly urged the South African government to quickly address these actions.
