A leading Islamic civil liberties organization has alleged the current leadership of a “blatant affront to free speech” after federal immigration authorities held UK reporter Sami Hamdi this past Sunday.
The organization asserted that Hamdi was held at San Francisco airport for speaking out against the Israeli ongoing military operations in Gaza. Hamdi is one of several persons who have been arrested and expelled by immigration enforcement for voicing pro-Palestine stances.
The Department of Homeland Security stated that Hamdi’s travel visa had been terminated, and that he was in detention “awaiting deportation.”
British journalist Sami Hamdi was allegedly taken into custody over the weekend by ICE agents at San Francisco international airport, and the organization asserts that action is obvious reprisal for the Islamic commentator’s statements of Israel while visiting the US.
A statement from the group described it was “a blatant affront to free speech” to detain Hamdi for speaking out against the Israeli continuing military operations in the Gaza region while he was involved on a speaking tour. Officials commented in a different announcement that Hamdi is facing deportation.
