The Trump administration cancelled Temporary Protected Status for 350,000 Haitians while telling Congress it will cap the 2027 refugee program at 17,500 admissions, almost all white South Africans known as Afrikaners. The administration cited land seizures and other alleged persecution faced by Afrikaners, a claim the South African government has repeatedly rejected. It plans to spend about $500 million resettling the group, after earlier reports that initial support payments for these refugees were doubled to $4,500 per person. Refugee resettlement organizations, including HIAS, have criticized the shift away from a program that historically served people fleeing conflict worldwide.
