US Grants Asylum to 54 White South Africans, Sparking Outrage Over Racial Bias
Fifty-four Afrikaner South Africans have been granted US refugee status, arriving in Washington D.C. as early as Monday. This expedited process, significantly faster than the typical 18-24 month timeframe, follows a Trump executive order prioritizing Afrikaners facing alleged discrimination in South Africa. The resettlement includes assistance from multiple US agencies, and twelve states have agreed to receive the refugees. The swift action contrasts with the Trump administration’s previous suspension of the broader refugee resettlement program.
