The Trump administration is bringing a small number of white South Africans to the United States as refugees next week in what it says is the start of a larger relocation effort for a minority group who are being persecuted by their Black-led government because of their race.

The Trump administration is looking to bring white Afrikaners to the U.S. claiming they're facing 'race-based persecution,' which South Africa denies.

Over two dozen Afrikaners claiming racial discrimination are set to arrive in the U.S. next week. The Trump administration fast-tracks processing despite suspending refugee programs.
