against the overwhelming majority of ******* living there until the 1990s.

Trump raged in his order that South Africa’s government is seizing “ethnic ********* Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation” and enacting “countless government policies designed to dismantle equal opportunity” in employment, education and business.”

He wrote that the U.S. cannot support the government of South Africa’s “commission of rights violations in its country.”

responded to Trump’s earlier attacks on the country, saying the land measure is “not a confiscation instrument, but a constitutionally mandated legal process.”

Later he vowed in his state of the nation address: “We will not be bullied”

Trump instructed Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in his order to “prioritize humanitarian relief, including admission and resettlement through the United States Refugee Admissions Program, for Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination.”

A federal judge temporarily blocked Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the Treasury Department’s payment system, citing potential “irreparable harm” from leaks of sensitive financial data.

This action follows other court decisions halting Trump administration plans, including staff purges at USAID and buyouts for federal workers.

President Trump stated that DOGE, led by “special government employee” Elon Musk, will next target military and education spending for cuts.

Nineteen Democratic attorneys general sued to prevent DOGE’s access to Treasury records containing personal data like Social Security and bank account numbers.

This legal challenge raises concerns about data security and potential misuse of information by DOGE, while supporters applaud efforts to curb government spending.

Trump’s earlier order did, however, allow officials to make case-by-case exemptions.
