Trump Administration Expands Refugee Cap for South African Afrikaners

The White House has raised the annual refugee admission cap by 10,000 to prioritize the resettlement of white Afrikaners fleeing persecution in South Africa. This executive action reflects the administration's broader commitment to protecting persecuted minorities and expanding protections for those facing existential threats abroad. The move signals a shift in U.S. immigration policy toward favoring persecuted groups over traditional asylum seekers.
