00:01
This group of people are a rarity in Donald Trump's United States -- they've been accepted as refugees.

The 59 Afrikaners, who are mostly descendants of Dutch settlers, arrived on US soil earlier this week...

00:15
with Trump saying they were being persecuted back home, and worse. 

00:20
+++ SOT Donald Trump, US President +++ 
They're being killed, and we don't want to see people be killed. // It's a genocide that's taking place that you people don't want to write about.

00:28
Trump's claims, though, have been widely refuted, including by the South African government.

00:34
It says crime affects everyone in the country, with black South Africans more likely to be targeted.

And now, the Episcopal Church -- a key helper of refugees -- is effectively calling out the US for double standards.

00:48
+++ SOT Bishop Bishop Sean Rowe, Episcopal Church +++ 
Some people are being privileged over others. And it appears that white people are being privileged over people of color for no real apparent reason. // People that have been waiting for years and are still waiting, who have been of service to this country, who are persecuted, are waiting to receive entrance. And this particular group has been fast-tracked over top of all of these others.

01:11
As a result, the church says it will end its resettlement partnership with the US government.
