Paul Rusesabagina is considered a hero by many for sheltering hundreds of Rwandans during the 1994 genocide. His story inspired the 2004 Hollywood film, Hotel Rwanda.

Diplomatic intervention by the United States resulted in a commutation of his sentence this month, and now Rusesabagina - who is a US legal permanent resident - is back with his family in Texas.
On The Bottom Line, host Steve Clemons asks Joshua Geltzer, the deputy Homeland Security Advisor, about the Biden administration's efforts to assist dozens of Americans jailed abroad.
