The Trump administration is sharply reducing the number of refugees admitted annually to the U.S. to 7,500 people; most of them will be white South Africans. That is a steep decline from last year’s cap of 125,000 set under President Joe Biden. Sharif Aly, president of the International Refugee Assistance Project, said, “By privileging Afrikaners while continuing to ban thousands of refugees who have already been vetted and approved, the administration is once again politicizing a humanitarian program.”
