“We’re hearing from Afghan women’s rights activists, Venezuelan political dissidents, Congolese families, persecuted Christians, & other religious minorities, all of whom now fear there is no room left for them in a system they trusted.” - @krishvignarajah.bsky.social

Trump considers cutting US refugee intake to 7,500, focusing on white South Africans, officials say President Donald Trump is considering admitting far fewer refugee into the U.S. this year – as few as 7,500, and mostly white Afrikaners.

NEW from @apnews.com - U.S. refugee cap may be set as low as 7,500.

“This would be a monumental shift in U.S. refugee policy, not just in terms of reducing admissions, but also in terms of disproportionately privileging one group over every other,”
