US EditionTrump officials seek to bring first white South African refugees to US next week, NYT reports
- On February 10, 2025, 49 white Afrikaner South Africans, approved for relocation under a program initiated by the Trump administration, arrived at Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C.
- The relocation followed President Trump's February 7 executive order accusing South Africa's government of racial discrimination and suspending most refugee admissions except for white South Africans.
- The U.S. Government organized the resettlement, offering support with housing, furnishings, groceries, and other essentials, while South Africa criticized the move as misleading and denying persecution claims.
- Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, defended the decision by stating that the situation with Afrikaners in South Africa exemplifies the fundamental reasons for establishing refugee programs. Meanwhile, critics raised concerns about giving priority to white South Africans as other refugee admissions have been suspended.
- The arrival marks the first phase of a broader relocation initiative amid contested claims over land expropriation laws and racial persecution allegations in South Africa.

They were received by Undersecretary of State Christopher Landau, who told them: "When you have quality s…
Even for Trump this is racist
Trump has gone out of his way to welcome a group of white South African immigrants.

At the same time, the Trump administration has blocked…
