In a move that underscores the Trump administration’s tough stance on immigration and national security, Rasha Alawieh, a non-US citizen, has been deported after openly admitting to supporting Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, a terrorist organization responsible for killing hundreds of Americans.
According to reports, Alawieh had traveled to Beirut, Lebanon, last month to attend Nasrallah’s funeral, where she proudly declared her support for the terrorist leader to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers upon her return.
This blatant admission raised significant concerns about national security and public safety.
“A visa is a privilege, not a right,” stated the White House. “Glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be denied. This is commonsense security.”
The White House emphasized that the deportation of Alawieh demonstrates the administration’s commitment to protecting American lives and upholding the law.
This incident comes amidst a broader crackdown on immigration by the Trump administration.
Since taking office, President Trump has prioritized the deportation of undocumented immigrants, particularly those with criminal records or ties to terrorist organizations.
The administration has also expanded the scope of ICE raids and increased cooperation with local law enforcement agencies to identify and detain individuals eligible for deportation.
