UK Muslim commentator who hailed ‘victory’ of Oct. 7 agrees to voluntarily leave US
|
[IsraelTimes] Sami Hamdi to depart the United States two weeks after being detained by ICE, which noted his comments about feeling ‘euphoria’ upon hearing about the Hamas-led terror onslaught
British political commentator Sami Hamdi is going to voluntarily leave the US after spending more than two weeks in immigration detention over what his supporters say was his criticism of Israel. The Trump administration has accused him of cheering on Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
for celebrating the "victory" of the terror group’s October 2023, attack.
Hamdi, who is Moslem, was on a speaking tour in the US when he was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on October 26. He had just addressed the annual gala for the Sacramento, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations
 ... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ...
, or CAIR, the day before his arrest.
In a statement late Monday, the organization said Hamdi had "chosen to accept an offer to leave the United States voluntarily."
"It is this simple: Sami never should have spent a single night in an ICE cell. His only real ’offense’ was speaking clearly about Israel’s genocidal war crimes against Paleostinians," said the CEO of CAIR’s California chapter, Hussam Ayloush, in a statement.
Hamdi’s detention was part of broader efforts by the Trump administration to identify and potentially expel thousands of foreigners in the United States who it says have either fomented or participated in unrest or publicly supported protests against Israel’s military operations in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
Those enforcement actions have been criticized by civil rights groups as violations of constitutional protections for freedom of speech, which apply to anyone in the United States and not just to American citizens.
Zahra Billoo, Executive Director of CAIR’s the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
 ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
office, said Tuesday that the logistics of Hamdi’s departure were still being worked out but that it might happen later this week. Billoo said there were "no conditions to the voluntary departure" and that he’s not barred from seeking another US visa in the future.
CAIR said Hamdi’s charging document in immigration court did not accuse him of criminal conduct or security concerns but only listed a visa overstay, which they blamed on the government revoking his visa.
Tricia McLaughlin, a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, said in a statement Tuesday that Hamdi had requested voluntary departure and "ICE is happily arranging his removal from this country."
The State Department said due to "visa record confidentiality," it could not comment on specific cases.
CAIR, whose national director praised the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led terror onslaught that started the Gaza war, has said that Hamdi, 35, was detained in response to what it characterized as his vocal criticism of the Israeli government during a US speaking tour.
The Department of Homeland Security said at the time of Hamdi’s arrest that the State Department had revoked his visa and that ICE had put him in immigration proceedings. Homeland Security later accused him of supporting the October 7 attack.
In a statement at the time, McLaughlin cited remarks he made in a video posted online shortly after the Hamas attacks in which he called to "celebrate the victory" of October 7 and asked his audience "how many of you felt euphoria" when they heard of the Hamas atrocities in which Death Eaters killed some 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.
Hamdi claimed later his intent was not to praise the attacks but to suggest that the violence was "a natural consequence of the oppression that is being put on the Paleostinians."
The State Department has not said specifically what Hamdi said or did that initiated the revocation but in a post on X the department said: "The United States has no obligation to host foreigners" who the administration deems to "support terrorism and actively undermine the safety of Americans. We continue to revoke the visas of persons engaged in such activity."
