💨 Abstract

The Trump administration announced that only Afrikaner South Africans will be permitted to enter the U.S. as refugees. This decision comes amid claims of persecution against white South Africans. The U.S. plans to resettle 7,500 predominantly white South Africans in the next fiscal year. The administration has also tightened visa vetting and revoked visas for those not aligning with U.S. national interests. Refugees granted status face strict travel restrictions if they wish to return to South Africa.
