President Joe Biden has decided to allow many Lebanese nationals in the United States to be safe from removal, after several lawmakers urged him to act.

“Humanitarian conditions in southern Lebanon have significantly deteriorated due to tensions between Hezbollah and Israel,” the president said in a July 26 memorandum for the secretaries of state and homeland security.
