British Muslim journalist and political commentator Sami Hamdi was reportedly detained by immigration authorities at San Francisco International Airport on Sunday morning after he had been on a speaking tour in the U.S., according to a news release shared by The Council on American-Islamic Relations.
The Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization called for Hamdi’s “immediate release,” suspecting his detainment was “because of his criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and at the urging of a notorious anti-Muslim, pro-Israel extremist.”
Tricia McLaughlin, the assistant secretary for public affairs at the DHS, wrote on X that Hamdi’s “visa was revoked and he is in ICE custody pending removal.”
"Those who support terrorism and undermine American national security will not be allowed to work or visit this country," McLaughlin added. Hamdi is the managing director at the International Interest, a magazine focused on geopolitical issues in the Middle East and the United Kingdom.

He wouldnt be detained if he was here lawfully.
Not to worry. He’s a Muslim and will like like an Imam. And, given our sorry assed pretend media, he’ll be defended and will continue to lie, and lie, and lie, and lie..........
War with Islam.
Not if.
Hes a terrorist.
Withdraw his Green Card and deport him.
Hopefully the nut bag wasn’t a “catch and release”. The boy needs to be deported. Throw his butt out! Throw his camels and goats out too!
Yes, each MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS and PBS news show will have him as a guest. By remote if he’s not in person.
“How are you holding up under the strain emotionally and physically of the Trump sponsored brutality you have faced?”
(Fights back the tears and then answers.)
Good! Get this POS out of here!
He needs to be deported from our country!

This is the Jihadi who was arrested at the San Francisco International Airport today.
Sami Hamdi openly supports HAMAS. Listen to him glorify Oct 7th.
He was flying to FL from CA to give a speech in Tampa tonight at an Islamic 501c3 tied to HAMAS & MB.

Send him to Saudi Arabia. They treat Muzzie Brotherhood journos well.
I see nothing in the article about a green card. What extra info do you have?
Apparently not.
Grok:
No, Sami Hamdi does not have a Green Card. The British journalist and commentator, currently detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), was in the country on a visa that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revoked on October 26, 2025, amid his national speaking tour.
Boot the terrorist!
