Trump has repeated false claims of mass killings of white South Africans, and, in May, granted refugee status to 68 members of the minority. The White House did not provide anyone for an interview, nor responded to questions about refugees like John and Anna.
Spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement to the “News Hour” that: “The Trump administration is working to undo the damage caused by the Biden administration, who admitted countless poorly vetted migrants into the United States.”
But, experts say, the process to become a refugee in this country requires intensive screening, including interviews with U.S. and U.N. officials, medical examinations, and mandatory cultural orientation.
