U.S. Implements New Visa Restriction Policy Targeting Foreign Nationals Involved in Race-Based Discrimination and Uncomp

The U.S. Secretary of State announced a new visa restriction policy under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This policy targets 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. Certain family members of these individuals may also be covered by these restrictions, making them inadmissible to the United States if their entry would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences.
