Trump cleared the way for refugee status for White Afrikaners, the group that was responsible for apartheid in South Africa

The refugees were admitted to the U.S. after an executive order from President Trump, and under an expedited and unconventional process for the U.S. refugee resettlement program.

AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel said Afrikaners cannot survive culturally in the United States or in any other country after 49 Afrikaners went to the US as refugees.

Nearly 50 White South Africans were granted refugee status despite other refugee resettlement programs being suspended.

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

Seasoned media personality Sizwe Dhlomo reacted after a group of 59 Afrikaners left South Africa to be granted refugee status in the United States.

US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said the group granted refugee status in the US had shared 'harrowing' tales of the violence they had endured in South Africa upon their arrival.
