British Muslim journalist Sami Hamdi was detained by immigration authorities at San Francisco International Airport, accused of supporting terrorism after a speaking tour in the United States. Far-right commentator Laura Loomer claimed responsibility for alerting federal officials to Hamdi's activities, citing his public statements and social media posts regarding the conflict in the Middle East. The Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned the arrest, calling it an attack on free speech, and confirmed that Hamdi remains in federal custody pending immigration proceedings. The incident comes amid a broader effort by the current administration to revoke visas and deport foreign nationals accused of supporting terrorism or criticizing American policy in the Middle East.
