White South Africans Fast-Tracked for Refugee Status Under Trump Policy. A group of 59 white South Africans has arrived in the US to be granted refugee status after President Donald Trump claimed they were victims of racial discrimination. The Afrikaner group landed at Dulles airport near Washington DC to a warm welcome waving flags and holding children. Their refugee applications were fast-tracked—despite the Trump administration halting most other refugee admissions, including those from warzones. Human Rights Watch has criticized the move as racially biased, noting thousands of Black and Afghan refugees remain in limbo. Trump defended the decision, saying white farmers in South Africa were facing a “genocide”. But South African President Cyril Ramaphosa rejected the claim, calling it false and insisting the group doesn’t meet the criteria for refugee status. The UN refugee agency wasn’t involved in processing this group, an unusual departure from standard protocol. Critics say the case reflects a troubling shift in US refugee policy.
