The first group of Afrikaners <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/12\/us\/politics\/white-south-africans-refugees.html\" title=\"\">arrived in the United States on May 12<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-4ce7eef2\">Who are the Afrikaners?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Afrikaners who arrived in the United States on Monday are the descendants of the European colonizers who came to South Africa approximately four centuries ago. They later created the brutal system of apartheid in 1948.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Decades after the end of apartheid, some Afrikaners now say they are being denied jobs and have been targeted by violence because of their race.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNo white person in their right mind would stay in this country,\u201d said Jaco van der Merwe, 52, an Afrikaner living in Johannesburg. \u201cI believe South Africa is finished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Forty-nine Afrikaners \u2014 including parents and children \u2014 boarded a flight in Johannesburg to the United States on Sunday night, according to a spokesman for South Africa\u2019s airport authority.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The U.S. State Department said in March that it had received 8,000 inquiries from people seeking information about the refugee program. It is unclear if the U.S. government will admit more families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Organizations such as <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amerikaners.com\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the Amerikaners have been set up<\/a> to help \u201csupport disenfranchised South Africans seeking a new future in the United States.\u201d Some leading Afrikaner activists say they would prefer Mr. Trump help their cause at home rather than offer refugee status in the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-286a9322\">What does land have to do with it?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Much of the discontent among Afrikaners centers on their experience in rural communities and frustration over land ownership.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many Afrikaners farm to make a living. During apartheid, the government denied Black South Africans the right to own prime agricultural land. That meant that almost all of the country\u2019s large-scale commercial farms were white-owned enterprises. This remains true today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Although white South Africans make up only 7 percent of the population, they own farmland that covers about half the country. The South African government has tried to address this inequality with various land reform programs, including the recent <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/03\/us\/politics\/south-africa-ramaphosa-trump-land-us-aid.html\" title=\"\">Expropriation Act<\/a>, which allows the government to acquire privately owned land in the public interest without providing compensation to the owner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When Mr. Trump <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/07\/us\/politics\/trump-south-africa-aid-white-landowners.html\" title=\"\">signed the executive order<\/a> announcing his plans to resettle \u201cAfrikaner refugees,\u201d he said it was because the South African government had created a system that \u201cracially disfavored landowners.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-1d60d192\">Why are Afrikaners being granted refugee status?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Refugees can often wait years before they are processed and approved to travel to the United States. The Afrikaners who arrived on Monday had to wait no more than three months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The president has equated efforts by the South African government to undo racial inequalities to anti-white discrimination. He said on Monday that the Afrikaners were victims of a \u201c<a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/atrupar.com\/post\/3loy7tumn2w2e\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">genocide.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cFarmers are being killed,\u201d he told reporters. \u201cThey happen to be white. Whether they are white or Black makes no difference to me. White farmers are being brutally killed and the land is being confiscated in South Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Police data do not support that narrative, showing that killings on farms are rare and that the victims are mostly Black.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">South African officials have described the administration\u2019s moves as politically motivated. Mr. Trump has criticized the South African government for its ties to Iran and for bringing <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/01\/12\/world\/middleeast\/israel-icj-genocide-south-africa.html\" title=\"\">a genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice<\/a> over the war in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt is most regrettable that it appears that the resettlement of South Africans to the United States under the guise of being \u2018refugees\u2019 is entirely politically motivated and designed to question South Africa\u2019s constitutional democracy,\u201d Chrispin Phiri, a spokesman for the South African government, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-1bec7fb0\">How will they be resettled in the United States?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump said on Monday the United States would grant citizenship to the Afrikaners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The administration plans to rely on a refugee office in the Department of Health and Human Services to assist with resettlement. The office has reached out to refugee organizations in recent days to prepare for the arrival of the Afrikaners, according to a department memo obtained by The New York Times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">According to the memo, the administration will help the Afrikaners find \u201ctemporary or longer-term housing\u201d and \u201cbasic home furnishings, essential household items and cleaning supplies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The administration is also planning to help the Afrikaners secure \u201cgroceries, weather-appropriate clothing, diapers, formula, hygiene products and prepaid phones that support the day-to-day well-being of households,\u201d the memo said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
