According to reports from international media, the US government has decided to reduce its refugee admissions cap for the 2026 fiscal year to 7,500, a historic low compared to the previous limit of 125,000 set during the Biden administration.

The government also stated that priority will be given to white South Africans (Afrikaners) and other individuals facing illegal or unfair discrimination in their home countries.

The sharp reduction has sparked criticism, particularly from members of the Democratic Party, who argue that the move may be illegal as it bypasses Congressional approval.
