South Africa has accused the United States of using Kenyan nationals without work permits at a facility processing refugee applications from white South Africans. This incident has led to increased tensions between the two nations.

• Seven Kenyans were arrested after intelligence reports indicated they were working illegally on tourist visas.
• The US State Department condemned the arrests, calling it "interference" and accused South Africa of releasing passport information of US officials, which it termed "an unacceptable form of harassment."
• The US has reduced its yearly refugee intake from 125,000 to 7,500 but is prioritizing Afrikaners, a community President Donald Trump claims faces persecution.
