The Trump administration did admit a heavily white cohort of refugees in early 2026 — specifically 7,727 South Africans with only 3 non-white applicants — but Takei's claim that 'every' refugee admitted in 2026 was white is false. The administration imposed an indefinite refugee ban in late February, meaning total admissions are near-zero, not a systematic white-preference screening across all entrants. The South Africa spike appears to be geographic concentration in one country's resettlement pipeline rather than evidence of a race-based policy.
