FACT CHECK: This grant is a stopgap to facilitate the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees.
ORR took over initial resettlement from the Department of State in January 2026. New processes are being built, including a state-centric refugee resettlement model. “Gotcha journalism” doesn't solve real-world issues.
ORR is committed to improvements and will continue to look for new and innovative solutions.
🚨 Trump’s own HHS awarded $2 MILLION to keep refugee-placement software running after State Department funding ended.
The nonprofit behind it, Global Refuge, asked for funding to ensure “uninterrupted resettlement operations.”
Its system serves seven resettlement agencies and hundreds of local offices.
Who inside Trump’s administration approved this—and why are taxpayers still paying to keep this infrastructure alive?
