A British commentator, Sami Hamdi, has been detained by American immigration officials for alleged support of terrorism. Hamdi, known for his commentary on Middle East issues and criticism of Israel, was arrested at San Francisco International Airport after his visa was revoked. Authorities cited his public statements, including praise for Hamas following the October 7 attacks, as grounds for his removal from the country. The case has drawn criticism from civil rights groups, who argue that his detention is an attack on free speech and political dissent.
