Officials say the refugees are fleeing racial discrimination in post-apartheid South Africa. The migrants were granted refugee status under an executive order signed by President Trump, citing race-based persecution. WUSA9 reports the Trump administration argues that the group has faced government-sponsored discrimination, particularly regarding land ownership laws in South Africa. South African officials deny the claims of discrimination, leading to a suspension of U.S. aid to the country.
