The Trump administration announced a new visa policy revoking all visas for South Sudanese nationals due to the government's refusal to accept U.S. deportees. This affects Duke University basketball star Khaman Maluach, whose future in the U.S. is now uncertain. The ban includes a pause on new visa issuance and is effective immediately. The decision comes amidst rising tensions and potential civil war in South Sudan, impacting 46 nonimmigrant visas issued in January. Maluach, a potential NBA first-round draft pick, expressed shock at his unexpected journey to Duke and now faces an uncertain future.
