The U.S. Embassy in South Africa on Sept. 8 added a group called “Amerikaners” to its list of agencies that help identify applicants for the Trump administration’s Afrikaner refugee resettlement program.
The U.S. mission said that Amerikaners is a designated Department of State referral partner. It will be involved in gathering information from potential applicants to assess whether they have a case eligible to be reviewed by the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP), and will refer cases to the department.
Amerikaners is one of two partners listed on the mission’s website. The other is RSC Africa, operated by Church World Service, which supports U.S.-bound refugees from sub-Saharan Africa and is authorized under the USRAP to facilitate travel from South Africa to the United States….
