Donald Trump's administration is making final arrangements to bring the first group of white South Africans classified as refugees to the United States as early as the third week in May, according to reports from The New York Times. 

Government officials are planning a welcoming ceremony at Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia to mark the arrival of the Afrikaners, who are members of South Africa's white minority ethnic group descended from Dutch settlers.

While the Trump administration paused virtually all refugee admissions shortly after taking office in January, citing security and cost concerns, it created a special exception for white South Africans in February.
