The Trump administration is considering suspending the visas of some citizens in countries who have "refused to accept or unreasonably delayed the return of its nationals," according to multiple reports Wednesday evening.
Cambodia, Eritrea, Guinea, and Sierra Leone have refused to take back people in the U.S. who are in the country illegally and been cleared by immigration courts for removal, according to the Washington Times.
DHS requested in a letter to the State Department that it suspend visas to some citizens from the four countries, though it's not known who would be affected.
"When we receive such notification, the Department of State works to implement a visa suspension as expeditiously as possible in the manner the secretary determines most appropriate under the circumstances to achieve the desired goal," a State official told Fox News.
While a presidential candidate, Trump promised to take more action to get countries to take back people the U.S. sought to deport. Eight of the 20 countries that had fought the change are now working with the U.S. government to take back their citizens.
"The secretary [of State] is having conversations with those countries. We want to bring those countries into compliance. We want those countries to be able to take back their citizens," the State official said. "We are having different levels of conversations with those countries and imposing different things upon them based on what we think will work best with those countries."

More AWESOMENESS!!
Obviously perfect.
Yes, just as if the last homo president was giving the order. Bath House would NEVER tolerate ANY dissent to his fiat commands.
State Dept needs to knuckle under. NOW.
How about “The President of the United States orders the State Department to suspend visas for countries who won’t accept US-deported citizens”.
Let us not concern ourselves with the feelings of SES level swamp creatures. Git ur done.
God bless and protect Donald Trump. OUR PRESIDENT!!!!
Firing Tillerson might get State’s attention.
Don’t you mean firing several dozen mid level bureaucrats on a weekly basis?
“DHS requested in a letter to the State Department that it suspend visas to some citizens from the four countries”
Some? Suspend them all.
And just what is your problem with Tillerson? Did I miss something?
How come it took 7 months to “ask” the State Department?
Trump is the chief executive officer of DHS and the State Department.
He could have demanded this his first day in office.
Re: “You might not find too many of those folks coming here to begin with.”
The posted article deliberately lists the most obscure countries possible.
There are at least five Latin American and Caribbean countries that are doing the same thing.
If nobody wants them, then they should be "put to sleep," like they do to stray dogs and cats. It's the most humane thing to do.
Isn’t China one of those countries which refuse deportees?
Somalia also?
Launch them out of a cannon into their embassies.
Use a lot of explosive powder.
Do those countries maintain embassies? Just dump their trash over the fence at night...
Rotate the department bureaucrats in and out of Havana for their auditory and nervous systems therapy.
3 mins...your post wasn’t even on the screen when I reached the end of the thread and posted my comment...
That’s been part of the game all along - shipping off potential troublemakers to Uncle Sugar.
I hope we’re not giving foreign aid money to those crapholes.
Well, I’m a little sympathetic to the people of Cambodia...
