US: British journalist Sami Hamdi to be released from ICE detention, set to return home

British journalist and political commentator Sami Hamdi will be released from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention following an agreement for him to voluntarily leave the country. He was detained in California during a speaking tour after his valid visitor visa was revoked without his knowledge. Although the Department of Homeland Security made allegations on social media that he supports terrorism, Hamdi was not charged with any criminal conduct. His legal team and family argue that he was targeted for his political views on Palestine, raising concerns about the violation of First Amendment rights.
