White House contemplating welcoming refugees from Gaza: Report
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss the Biden administration's handling of unrest stemming from the war in Gaza as police arrive on multiple college campuses overnight.
Commentators criticized the Biden administration for considering plans to accept Palestinian refugees from Gaza.
Senior officials across several federal U.S. agencies have discussed in recent weeks the details of potential options to accept Palestinians from Gaza who have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent U.S. residents, according to internal federal documents reported by CBS News. One proposal involves using the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program to bring Palestinians with U.S. connections who have escaped Gaza and entered neighboring Egypt.
"In terms of the refugee admissions program ... we are constantly evaluating policy proposals to further support Palestinians who are family members of American citizens and may want to come to the United States," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during Wednesday afternoon's briefing.
A wave of commentators on Tuesday evening condemned the proposals outlined in the CBS report.
