💨 Abstract

A group of 49 white South Africans, known as Afrikaners, departed for the U.S. on May 11, 2025, under a new refugee program established by the Trump administration. The U.S. accuses South Africa's government of racial discrimination against Afrikaners due to affirmative action laws and a land expropriation law. South Africa denies these claims, stating Afrikaners are economically privileged and not persecuted.
