Kuwaiti Artist Loses Green Card Over America 'Enemy' Remark

The revocation triggered custody and deportation proceedings, according to officials familiar with the case. Alkhudari, a Kuwaiti national, had been a lawful permanent resident of the United States.

The action stems from social media posts in which Alkhudari praised foreign adversaries and terrorist organizations. The posts were deemed to constitute support for enemies of the United States, a basis for removal under immigration law.

Alkhudari's case has drawn attention from civil liberties groups, which argue that the revocation punishes speech rather than conduct. The groups have called for transparency in how such determinations are made.

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security declined to comment on the specifics, citing privacy and ongoing proceedings. Alkhudari's legal team has not issued a public statement.

The case is set to proceed in immigration court, where Alkhudari may contest the revocation and seek relief from removal.
