A group of white South Africans will be arriving in Washington, D.C., on Monday by way of a State Department-chartered plane to be resettled in the U.S. as refugees, a source familiar with their arrival told NBC News.
Their resettlement comes even though President Donald Trump suspended the State Departments refugee admissions program through an executive order on the first day of his second term.
The groups scheduled arrival as the first white South Africans to enter the U.S. as refugees was first reported by The New York Times on Friday.
On Friday, White House deputy chief of staff and homeland security adviser Stephen Miller defended the resettling of the Afrikaners even as refugees from other countries were barred from the U.S.
