Washington, D.C. – Congressman Josh Brecheen sent a letter to President Biden calling on him to oppose paroling Palestinians into the U.S. following Hamas’ heinous attack on Israel. 

The Daily Caller’s Jennie Taer wrote an exclusive report on the letter, which you can read here.

The letter reads, in part:

“In light of recent news that members of your party are encouraging Palestinians to be paroled into the United States following Hamas’s attack on innocent Israelis on October 7, 2023, we write to you to remind the administration that no authority exists to grant categorical parole and we are deeply opposed to any potential attempts to parole into the U.S. Palestinians en masse following Israel’s counteroffensive against Hamas in Gaza.  

In the past week, we have seen disgraceful protests in cities and college campuses across America in support of Hamas’ attack against Israel. It is deeply concerning that some of these gatherings have put on display hatred and vitriol against the Jewish people. For example, the New York City Democratic Socialists of America chapter gathered in Times Square the day after Hamas’s initial attack, celebrating it as a ‘resistance,’ with one protestor saying he ‘might do the same thing because there’s nothing left to lose.’ Stanford University suspended one of its professors after students reported him shamefully defending Hamas as ‘freedom fighters’ and later forcing Jewish students to stand alone in the corner of the room to signify Palestinian life in Gaza.  These protests even made their way to the halls of Congress as Palestinian supporters flooded the Cannon House Office Building rotunda falsely claiming Palestinians were being ‘ethnically cleansed.’”

Cosigners include: Representatives Andy Ogles (R-TN), Jeff Duncan (R-SC), and Clay Higgins (R-LA).
