EXCLUSIVE: ‘A Planned Terror Attack’: House Republicans Target DHS For Accommodating Lebanese Nationals

Republican Texas Rep. Brian Babin and a group of House Republicans sent a letter Tuesday to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), slamming them over a recent announcement that Lebanese nationals inside the U.S. will now be eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and work authorization due to war in the Middle East.

The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the letter, in which Babin and eleven other House Republicans condemn the Biden-Harris administration for their announcement of new actions to provide an immigration “reprieve” to Lebanese nationals and individuals having no nationality who last resided in Lebanon.

“While Israel is suffering weekly rocket bombardments from terrorists in Lebanon, the Biden-Harris administration has not only foolishly decided to hamstring our ability to deport Lebanese aliens, including those here illegally, but also offer them immigration benefits and work authorization. Just weeks ago, an ISIS terrorist – who this administration failed to properly vet and welcomed into our country with open arms – was caught planning an Election Day attack,” Babin told the Daily Caller.

“This White House and its Department of Homeland Security have a deeply troubling track record of allowing terrorists into our nation, and new designations like this only make it more difficult to remove bad actors,” Babin added.
