\n Weeks into his second term, President Donald Trump announced that nearly all refugees admitted to the United States would be White South Africans, radically reshaping a decades-long program that had largely serviced people fleeing war, persecution, or other dangers.\n <\/p>

\n Eighteen months later, the US has 7,700 Afrikaners \u2014 but the effort has hit some notable bumps along the way.\n <\/p>\n

\n The refugee program, largely shuttered for the rest of the world, has sparked diplomatic spats, prompted a scramble to open a processing site in South Africa, generated highly unusual requests from applicants and produced high denial rates, due in part to criminal records among some applicants, according to more than a dozen people familiar with the program.\n <\/p>\n

\n While the processing of refugees can be a difficult task, particularly in urgent situations, the people familiar with the program told CNN that the hurdles it has faced stem from the administration\u2019s desire to bend the program to only benefit Afrikaners.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s clear to us that the designation of one population over literally all others does not represent the actual humanitarian need,\u201d said Beth Oppenheim, president & CEO of HIAS, a refugee assistance organization that is part of an ongoing lawsuit challenging the administration\u2019s suspension of the refugee program.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t White South Africans who deserve protection. Of course, there are. But when you say they\u2019re the only one population that needs protection that doesn\u2019t reflect the reality in our world,\u201d Oppenheim said. She noted that the program has historically been reserved for some of the world\u2019s most vulnerable populations who have already fled their home countries and are often living in refugee camps.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u2018Building the plane as they\u2019re flying it\u2019\n<\/h2>\n

\n Trump\u2019s move to narrow the US refugee program to only include Afrikaners stunned career officials in the early days of the administration, prompting discussions over who <\/em>exactly would be eligible to enter the United States and whether they needed to be White or other minorities in South Africa would be eligible.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThey carved out this group out of nowhere,\u201d one of the sources said. \u201cThat\u2019s why the back and forth took place.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Officials landed on a broad definition that doesn\u2019t specify race and notes that to be eligible for consideration, individuals must be of South African nationality, must be of Afrikaner ethnicity or be a member of a racial minority in South Africa, among other requirements. The overwhelming majority of those who have come to the US are White South Africans.\n <\/p>\n

\n Meanwhile, Homeland Security officials charged with training refugee officers before they interview people for potential resettlement in the US scrambled to find materials to substantiate the president\u2019s claims that White South Africans faced persecution.\n <\/p>\n

\n The administration wanted the resettlement to happen \u201cso fast,\u201d that if someone is approved, they should be able to get on a plane the next day, former US officials told CNN. One source said that administration officials made clear that staff \u201cneeded to pull out all stops to support the president\u2019s priority of resettling this group of people.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Another source familiar with the program told CNN: \u201cThey\u2019re building the plane as they\u2019re flying it.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Some Afrikaners are arriving to the United States in a matter of weeks, while others are being denied over issues with criminal history, and denial rates are hovering in the teens, higher than the single-digit percentages that are typical for other refugee populations, sources told CNN.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWhat you\u2019d have is a case of an individual who suffered three or four incidents that involved criminality, sometimes even violent crime, but the question was \u2014 what indication was there that this was on account of a protected ground?\u201d another source told CNN.\n <\/p>\n

\n Others were approved to come to the US but sought to delay their departure from their home country for a variety of reasons, sources explained.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cAfrikaner families would try to renegotiate in terms of their departure dates, because they were selling land, they were making arrangements, they were waiting for kids to graduate,\u201d a former US official said. \u201cThere were a lot of delays, and that is so abnormal.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n In a statement to CNN, US Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesman Zach Kahler maintained that DHS is \u201ccommitted to resettling Afrikaner refugees who are being persecuted by the South African government.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cUSCIS makes all decisions on U.S. Refugee Admissions Program applications on a case-by-case basis to ensure individuals are eligible for admission,\u201d Kahler said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Tensions and a charter flight\n<\/h2>\n

\n The program caused tensions on the ground late last year when the South African government briefly held, then released, two US government employees on assignment in South Africa. US officials have since moved their operations to a diplomatic site where temporary structures have also been stood up for processing, sources told CNN.\n <\/p>\n

\n A State Department spokesperson told CNN, \u201cThis was not a mere diplomatic spat \u2014the South African government raided the processing center and doxxed and harassed American officials in an attempt to delegitimize the plight of Afrikaners and intimidate those at the processing center.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n In a statement to CNN at the time, South Africa\u2019s Department of Home Affairs said it had carried out an operation at a center processing refugee applications over suspected immigration violations concerning Kenyan nationals on site, noting that \u201cthe presence of foreign officials apparently coordinating with undocumented workers naturally raises serious questions about intent and diplomatic protocol.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The Trump administration has highlighted its efforts to admit Afrikaners to the US, including at a welcome event at a DC-area airport last May for new arrivals with the US Deputy Secretary of State.\n <\/p>\n

\n Sources said the government, at significant expense, paid to charter a plane to bring the inaugural group of Afrikaners to the US. Former officials said there was immense pressure to try to fill the charter flight, including discussions about potentially waiving medical exams to help do so. There were ultimately 59 people on board the flight.\n <\/p>

\n \u201cThey didn\u2019t get close to filling the plane,\u201d one former official said. Another said that career officials raised concerns about using taxpayer money for that purpose. Another former official recalled thinking it \u201cwasn\u2019t fair\u201d to the Afrikaners that they were being rushed to leave \u201cjust to get them there for a photo opp.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe would never have picked a date for people to arrive before we explicitly knew that they could leave,\u201d the second former official recalled.\n <\/p>\n

\n The State Department spokesperson noted that \u201cevery admitted refugee meets all requirements under U.S. law, including security and medical screenings.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Another event was planned for this summer until being abruptly scrapped, according to a source.\n <\/p>\n

\n The administration has also started distributing welcome bags to new arrivals that include materials aligned with Trump and his policies, the source said.\n <\/p>\n

\n A former US government official told CNN that in prior administrations, refugees would typically get a so-called \u201ccultural orientation\u201d before arriving to the United States. That included preparing people for their first flight and a brief introduction to living in the US.\n <\/p>\n

\n But last year, political appointees decided those existing materials could no longer be used, claiming they didn\u2019t reflect Trump\u2019s policy views, the official said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Those who have already arrived in the US also face hurdles as they navigate life as a refugee with limited resources provided by the federal government, fueling pushback from some Afrikaners who came in with different expectations, sources say.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe expectations set on the other side are unrealistic. They\u2019re coming to a situation that is not as nice as they\u2019re used to,\u201d one source familiar with the resettlement process told CNN.\n <\/p>\n

\n Unlike other refugee populations who arrive with very little, some White South Africans also have means, so they\u2019re able to put children in private school or buy a car shortly after arrival.\n <\/p>\n

\n Fringe claims and shifting standards\n<\/h2>\n

\n More than 3 million refugees have been admitted to the United States since the program was established in 1980. Applicants must prove that if they return to their home country, they\u2019ll face persecution because of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or their political opinion. They are generally already outside of their country and unable or unwilling to return home over fear.\n <\/p>\n

\n While there have been exceptions, processing refugees in their own country \u2014 as is happening in South Africa \u2014 is unusual, according to experts, because they are residing in the place where they\u2019re claiming to be persecuted. Typically, situations are so urgent and dangerous that people are forced to flee their homes to another country.\n <\/p>\n

\n For that reason, refugee advocates couldn\u2019t recall a time that people applying for refuge in the United States were also willing to return to the country they were fleeing after being resettled \u2014 and that has occurred with some arrivals: They have come to the US, grown disillusioned, and decided to return to South Africa.\n <\/p>\n

\n Trump has repeatedly amplified fringe claims that White farmers in South Africa are having their land seized and are being killed in massive numbers. He also confronted South Africa\u2019s president with those claims in an Oval Office meeting last year. CNN has investigated the claims of White \u201cgenocide\u201d in South Africa and found no evidence to back them up.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cPresident Trump has provided a lifeline for Afrikaners, who are being raped, maimed, killed, and driven off their property across South Africa. While the South African government and many in the media have brushed off the horrific lived experiences of this community, the Trump administration continues to process applications for refugee status because the President has a humanitarian heart,\u201d White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement.\n <\/p>\n

\n While presidential administrations must consult with Congress on refugee caps, the president has immense power in deciding who and how many people can come through utilizing that avenue.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWhat\u2019s different about this moment is not that Trump has put his particular spin on this program. That\u2019s not unusual. What is unusual in this moment is the how and the why,\u201d Oppenheim said.\n <\/p>\n

\n In a recent move to up the number of Afrikaners allowed in the US, the Trump administration cited remarks from the South African president and an incident last year when the South African government questioned US personnel on assignment in the country.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThis escalating hostility heightens the risks to Afrikaners in South Africa, who are already subject to far-reaching government-sponsored race-based discrimination,\u201d the report stated, justifying the need to revise the ceiling to 17,500. More Afrikaners are expected to arrive in the coming months as a result.\n <\/p>\n

\n Experts who spoke with CNN stressed that there may be individual cases that fit the criteria for refugee status, but overwhelmingly, they said, Afrikaners\u2019 cases are based on discrimination, which is short of what\u2019s required by US and international law to qualify as a refugee.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe most strident difference in the US refugee program is it was dominated by people who met the international definition of refugee, and none of these are,\u201d a refugee advocate told CNN. \u201cIt\u2019s changed the real purpose of that.\u201d\n <\/p>
