Trump Administration Weighs Citing ‘Emergency’ to Admit More Afrikaners as Refugees

Since last year, Afrikaners, the white minority from South Africa, have had the rare ability to seek refugee status.
Mr. Trump and his aides have claimed Afrikaners face racial persecution, an assertion strongly disputed by South African

Now the administration is considering substantially expanding access for the white South Africans by declaring that an “unforeseen emergency” in that country warrants more than doubling the number who could enter as refugees, according to multiple people familiar with the matter and documents obtained by The New York Times.
