No refugees will be admitted in FY26 until appropriate consultations with Congress occur, and those consultations are on hold until the government reopens. In May, a group of Afrikaners was welcomed to the United States. Apartheid in South Africa lasted from 1948 until the early 1990s. Some Afrikaners allege post-apartheid discrimination; South African President Cyril Ramaphosa denies those claims.
