BREITBART -- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that a British journalist, Sami Hamdi, who is suspected of being a member of the Islamic extremist group the Muslim Brotherhood, is in ICE custody and faces deportation from the United States.
In a post on X, DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin thanked Secretary of State Marco Rubio, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, and “the men and women of law enforcement” for their work. McLaughlin added that the visa of Sami Hamdi has been revoked.
“Thanks to the work of @Sec_Noem and @SecRubio and the men and women of law enforcement, this individual’s visa was revoked and he is in ICE custody pending removal,” McLaughlin wrote. “Under President Trump, those who support terrorism and undermine American national security will not be allowed to work or visit this country.”
In response to Hamdi’s arrest, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a statement that their “attorneys and partners” were attempting to “address this injustice,” and continued to “call on ICE to immediately account for and release Mr. Hamdi.”
