President Biden has issued an order to defer the deportation of Palestinians living in the United States for 18 months, following the horrific October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas against Israel. This decision comes as conditions in the Gaza Strip and West Bank have significantly deteriorated. The White House, through National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, announced that this measure, known as 'deferred enforced departure,' is being taken due to the 'significantly deteriorated' humanitarian conditions in Gaza, as the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues. This executive action utilizes the president's discretion to protect those who might lose their legal status in the U.S., preventing their forced return to a region experiencing severe hardship.
