Episcopal Church says it won't help resettle white South Africans granted refugee status in US

  • On Monday, the Episcopal Church's migration agency declined a federal government order to assist in the relocation of white South African refugees admitted to the United States.
  • This refusal follows President Trump’s decision to fast-track refugee status for white South Africans amid accusations against their government and an abrupt halt to overall U.S. Refugee admissions.
  • Episcopal Migration Ministries highlighted its commitment to racial justice and historic ties to South Africa’s Anglican Church while planning to end its refugee resettlement partnership with the U.S. Government by fiscal year-end.
  • Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe expressed distress over a particular set of refugees being chosen through an uncommon process and given favorable treatment compared to numerous others who have endured prolonged waits in refugee camps or hazardous environments.
  • The church’s decision ends a decades-long program that resettled nearly 110,000 refugees and signals ongoing debates about fairness in U.S. Refugee policies and priorities.
