President Trump has announced that the U.S. is admitting 10,000 additional white South Africans as refugees, citing persecution in their home country. This decision comes as the administration blocks refugees from other countries. Trump suspended the refugee program on his first day in office and has agreed only to allow in Afrikaners, a group of white South Africans. Advocates say this focus leaves others fleeing war with few options. The South African government calls the claims of discrimination baseless. The State Department has approved more than 6,000 refugees through the program since October, overwhelmingly from South Africa. Resettlement groups are suing to allow stranded refugees to come to the U.S.
