- On Thursday, the White House published a Federal Register notice setting the U.S. refugee cap at 7,500 for fiscal year 2026, saying most admissions would "primarily" be Afrikaners from South Africa.

- The cap is the lowest since 1980, set at 7,500 for fiscal year 2026 as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees counts 42.7 million refugees globally.
