The Trump administration is standing strong against threats to national security, even when it means making tough calls. Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a Lebanese kidney specialist set to teach at Brown University, was deported after Customs and Border Protection found photos of Hezbollah leaders in her phone’s deleted folder. She admitted attending the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s longtime chief, and following his teachings. Homeland Security made it clear: supporting terrorists isn’t compatible with holding a U.S. visa.
Hezbollah isn’t some harmless social club—it’s a U.S.-designated terrorist group responsible for killing Americans. Letting someone with sympathies for this organization into our country would’ve been reckless. The administration acted decisively to protect citizens, canceling Alawieh’s visa and barring her reentry for five years. While liberals scream about “due process,” commonsense Americans understand that vetting visitors isn’t optional.
A federal judge tried to block Alawieh’s deportation, but border agents didn’t receive the order until after her plane left. Critics claim this was intentional, but Homeland Security insists it follows proper legal channels. The real scandal here is that a professor with terrorist-linked materials nearly slipped through our defenses. Trump’s team closed that loophole fast—exactly what voters demanded when they put him back in office.
This case ties directly to Project 2025, the conservative plan to fix America’s broken immigration system. The blueprint calls for expanding detention centers, speeding up deportations, and using military resources to secure the border. Weak-kneed liberals call these ideas “extreme,” but they’re exactly what’s needed after years of open borders under Biden. Letting 100,000 illegal immigrants roam free isn’t compassion—it’s insanity.
The left’s meltdown over Alawieh shows how out of touch they are. Protesters flooded Boston streets, calling her deportation “racist” and “Islamophobic.” Never mind that Hezbollah has Jewish blood on its hands. While activists cry about “religious persecution,” Trump officials are focused on facts: visas are privileges, not rights. If you cheerlead terrorists, you don’t get to lecture Americans about fairness.
Alawieh isn’t the only one facing consequences. Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil lost his visa after organizing anti-Israel protests. Over 100 Venezuelan gang members were sent packing using the Alien Enemies Act. The administration isn’t backing down, even when judges try to block them. That’s what leadership looks like—putting citizens’ safety above political correctness.
A recent poll shows most Americans support deporting violent criminals, but the left wants to protect everyone. They’ve forgotten that laws exist for a reason. When you tolerate Hezbollah fanboys or campus radicals, you invite chaos. Project 2025 fixes this by deputizing local police, expanding E-Verify, and ending catch-and-release. The alternative? More fentanyl deaths, more terror risks, more taxpayer strain.
President Trump promised the largest deportation effort in history, and he’s delivering. While critics whine about “overreach,” real Americans sleep safer knowing predators like Tren de Aragua thugs are gone. The administration’s message is clear: If you side with America’s enemies, you won’t enjoy America’s freedoms. That’s not cruelty—it’s common sense.
