US offering some Lebanese nationals protected status amid war, DHS says

The United States says it is authorizing certain Lebanese nationals currently in the country to remain for the next 18 months and apply for work permits, as hostilities flare between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

Certain individuals from Lebanon who were already in the US as of October 16 can apply for the so-called Temporary Protected Status, the Department of Homeland Security says in a statement.
