The United States declared Ibrahim Sharara, Lebanon's consul general in Detroit, persona non grata and ordered him to leave the country by Sunday, November 8. The move follows a media investigation that reveals social media posts attributed to Sharara, in which she praised the 1983 Beirut barracks attack, a terrorist attack by Hezbollah in which 241 American service members were killed, as an act of "heroic resistance." Another post by Sharara read: "From the Marine barracks in Beirut to the al-Tanf base, we will reject Israel and defeat it," referring to US forces in Syria. The investigation also documented Shararas' attendance at Arab-American political events in Michigan attended by Democratic Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed, including a campaign supporter's banquet in Dearborn. In another photograph, Sara is seen next to the far-left anti-Semitic political commentator Anna Kasparian.
