US EditionEpiscopal Church says it won't help resettle white South Africans granted refugee status in US
- On Monday, the Episcopal Church announced it will end its decades-long refugee resettlement partnership with the U.S. government after 59 white South Africans arrived at Dulles Airport under fast-tracked refugee status.
- This decision comes after the Trump administration implemented a fast-tracked program allowing white South Africans to be resettled in the U.S., based on claims of discrimination by South Africa’s government, which the government strongly denies.
- Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe said the church refused the directive due to its commitment to racial justice and that it was painful to see one group receive preferential treatment over many refugees waiting in camps for years.
- Rick Santos, president of Church World Service, expressed concern that while the U.S. Government is expediting the process for admitting Afrikaners, it is simultaneously resisting court mandates aimed at delivering urgent resettlement assistance to other refugee groups in critical need.
- The Episcopal Church will conclude its federally funded refugee services by September but will continue aid to immigrants already residing in or stranded outside the United States.
