South Africans challenge Trump’s genocide claim as refugees accepted in U.S.

Darrel Brown, a South African farmer, remains committed to his home country despite experiencing violence and loss, including the murder of friends. In February 2025, President Trump signed an executive order to resettle White South African refugees, claiming they face genocide and land confiscation. However, many South Africans dispute these claims, arguing the situation is misrepresented, with no evidence of large-scale killings or land seizures. Brown, whose friends were killed in farm attacks, contests the use of the term “genocide” to describe the violence he has witnessed.
