"Biden Extends Protection for Palestinian Immigrants in US"
President Biden has ordered an 18-month deportation pause for certain Palestinians in the US amid the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, allowing Palestinian tourists, students, and workers to stay in the US until at least August 2025 and seek employment. The order aims to provide a temporary safe haven for most Palestinians in the US, but excludes those convicted of felonies or deemed a public safety threat. This decision comes after months of Democratic lawmakers urging Biden to grant deportation relief to Palestinians due to the conflict.
