Kuwaiti Artist Loses Green Card Over America 'Enemy' Remark

Kuwaiti artist Tareq Alkhudari has lost his U.S. green card and faces deportation after Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked his permanent resident status in July 2026. The revocation was prompted by Alkhudari's social media posts that praised foreign adversaries and terrorist organizations, with one post referring to America as an 'enemy.'

Following the revocation, Alkhudari was taken into custody and is now in deportation proceedings. The U.S. government cited the online statements as grounds for the action, determining that they constituted support for groups and nations hostile to the United States.

Alkhudari, a Kuwaiti national, had been living in the United States as a lawful permanent resident. The case highlights the government's authority to revoke green cards for conduct deemed contrary to national security or public interest.

The artist's removal proceedings are ongoing, and no further details about his legal representation or potential challenges to the decision have been released.
