House and Senate Democrats are calling on the Biden administration to allow Palestinian refugees into the United States, putting President Joe Biden in a difficult position.

In a letter addressed to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Reps. Greg Casar (D-TX), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), and Debbie Dingell (D-MI) led 69 members of Congress in pushing President Joe Biden to grant certain Palestinians a Priority-2 designation under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.
