If you have a valid visa to be in the US, be careful. The Trump gang is starting to deport or even torture people in your situation! Here are some examples:
Dr. Rasha Alawieh is a kidney specialist working at Brown University. After visiting family in Lebanon, she was returning to the U.S. on an H-1B visa - a temporary visa that lets foreign professionals work in the US - when customs officials detained at the airport in Boston. A federal court order was issued to stop her deportation. But she was deported anyway, sent off on a plane to Lebanon.
