US EditionUS aims to bring in 4,500 white South Africans per month as refugees, document says

- The contracting document explains why a no-bid award was made as a South African company received a $772,000 contract to install 14 prefabricated modular buildings after Johannesburg raid compromised operations.
- Administrative rules require case-by-case exceptions from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, making it unclear if the U.S. can meet the 4,500 monthly target despite over 67,000 interested individuals.
- DHS delays and administrative backlogs have halted admissions, with only 2,000 white South Africans entered as of January 31, while the State Department paused travel from Feb 23 to March 9.
