Expected behavior

It should remove the users without error, or throw an error message explaining why it cannot.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

State: A user is a member of a community (and several sub groups).
Try to remove the user from the community using community.removeParticipants

Example code:

const community = await client.getChatById(COMMUNITY_ID)
await community.removeParticipants(["123455@c.us"])

Relevant Code

Example group object (manually sanitised):

GroupChat {
  groupMetadata: {

      _serialized: '123@g.us'
