# Over four-thousand white Afrikaners have entered the US under a controversial refugee programme launched by president Donald Trump. According to the US Department of State’s Bureau of Population document, between October 2025 and March 2026, over four-thousand-400 South Africans were resettled across 48 states. February and March 2026 saw the most arrivals, with more than one-thousand-300 people resettled each month. The Trump administration justifies the move by claiming the minority faces genocide, a claim the South African government firmly rejects as unfounded.
