Biden's Order Protects Palestinians in US from Deportation

President Biden has issued an executive order to protect most Palestinian immigrants in the U.S. from deportation, citing the dangerous humanitarian conditions in the Palestinian territories, particularly Gaza, due to the Israel-Hamas conflict. The order, using the Deferred Enforced Departure program, will shield several thousand Palestinians from deportation for 18 months, with exceptions for those convicted of serious crimes or deemed public safety threats. This move has been praised by Democratic lawmakers and is seen as an effort to prioritize diplomacy, peace, and security in the Middle East.
