Burma and Laos have been slapped with visa restrictions over their “lack of cooperation” in accepting expatriates who have been deported from the United States, The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said.
In a July 10 announcement, the DHS said the two countries “have denied or unreasonably delayed accepting” their nationals who were ordered to be removed from the United States. As a result, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo ordered consular officers in both countries to implement visa restrictions that would apply to certain categories of visa applicants.
