South African police have raided a U.S. refugee processing center in the country, briefly detaining U.S. staff who have been handling applications from white Afrikaner refugees.
The Hill reported that the raid is expected to heighten tensions between the two nations, as the Trump administration has repeatedly raised concerns about the treatment of South Africa's white minority.
The State Department confirmed that the office had been searched. The South African Embassy in Washington did not immediately comment.
Although the center is staffed by U.S. refugee officers, it is not an embassy and therefore is not considered U.S. sovereign territory.
President Donald Trump earlier this year set the lowest refugee admissions cap in U.S. history, directing that most of the 7,500 available slots be allocated to white South Africans.
Critics have argued the move misuses the refugee program, which is traditionally open to people of all nationalities who are fleeing danger or persecution regardless of race.
Trump has repeatedly said Afrikaners face "hateful rhetoric" and "disproportionate violence," and in setting the refugee cap directed that "the admissions numbers shall primarily be allocated among Afrikaners from South Africa."
He has said the program should be open to Afrikaners facing "illegal or unjust discrimination," a standard that differs from current refugee criteria based on conflict, violence, or persecution.

They can’t let the farmers leave because none of them know how to farm. Or am I being a bigot?
The history of Zimbabwe says you are being realistic. I see no reason why RSA wouldn’t go down the same path, get the same results.

We need diversity in immigratiom!
No, you are not a bigot.

Back when all this crap of majority rule started to get pushed by the black communists there were stacks of sob stories about how tough it was on the blacks that got handed ranches that were white families method of living for generations.
One of the many whining statements the blacks pushed was this one buck going on about how hard is was to farm on his new RANCH.
Not the buck, the interviewer, the communist “leaders,” and the TV station ever realised that it was classified as a RANCH, not a farm, for a reason...

What would it take to clean up after a couple of earth penetrators down the shaft of a major gold mine. Probably cost a bomb to clean up and get back operating again.
Get the whites out and leave that s hole continent to the melanated beasts and leave them to their own devices.
Imagine all of the SA whites who would be grateful to live in the US. I love the idea.
