Tell ICE: Release British Journalist Who Criticized Israel

A journalist has been detained in America — for speaking out against war.

British Muslim commentator Sami Hamdi was arrested by immigration agents at San Francisco International Airport after criticizing Israel’s assault on Gaza. His visa was abruptly revoked, and he’s now being held in ICE custody — punished for his political views.

Let’s be clear: this is political repression. The U.S. government is silencing a journalist for his opinions — an outrageous attack on free speech and press freedom.

Tell Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons: “Release Sami Hamdi immediately. End political detention. Stop criminalizing dissent.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations calls Hamdi’s detention “a blatant affront to free speech.” DHS officials targeted him for his criticism of Israel. That’s censorship.

Public pressure works. ICE officials can release Hamdi today — but only if we demand it. Every hour of silence brings us closer to another voice erased for telling the truth.

Add your name now to tell ICE to stop censoring dissent and release Sami Hamdi now.

The petition to Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons reads: “Release Sami Hamdi immediately. End political detention. Stop criminalizing dissent.”
