The revocation came after Alkhudari, a Kuwaiti national, posted comments online that praised foreign adversaries and terrorist organizations, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The posts, which were critical of the United States, led to his detention and the start of deportation proceedings.

Alkhudari, who had been living in the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident, was taken into custody following the revocation. His case has drawn attention to the administration's broader crackdown on immigrants whose speech or associations are deemed hostile to U.S. interests.

The State Department, under Secretary Rubio, has not commented on the specifics of the case. Legal experts note that green card holders can lose their status for engaging in activities that threaten national security, though such actions typically require a formal review process.

Alkhudari's attorney has not yet filed a public response. The deportation proceedings are expected to unfold in the coming months, with advocates for immigrant rights raising concerns about the use of social media posts as grounds for removal.
