ICE holds British commentator over revoked visa

ICE detained British political commentator Sami Hamdi at San Francisco International Airport and is holding him after the State Department revoked his visitor visa, federal officials said. A senior U.S. official linked the action to Hamdi’s Middle East remarks but did not cite specific comments. CAIR, which hosted him at a Sacramento gala, demanded his immediate release. The detention is the latest in the Trump administration’s push to remove foreigners it says back unrest over Gaza, a campaign civil rights groups say violates free-speech protections. Hamdi denies praising Hamas.
