LONDON (AP) — British political commentator Sami Hamdi said Thursday on his arrival back in the U.K. that he was considering suing U.S. authorities for his detention in an immigration detention center over what he claims were his views on Gaza and Israel. Two days after revealing that he was leaving the U.S. voluntarily, Hamdi lauded federal judges for exonerating him over what he termed a 'botched' detention by 'extremists' within the U.S. government. Hamdi emphasized, 'This wasn’t just an attack on me, it was an attack on the freedoms of ordinary Americans and citizens worldwide.' He was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement shortly after addressing a gala for the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Sacramento. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security stated they revoked his visa, accusing him of supporting Hamas-led attacks on Israel. Hamdi clarified that his intention was not to praise the violence but to discuss the oppression faced by Palestinians. He emphasized that he had done nothing illegal in the U.S. and is now exploring legal options against the authorities, although he is grateful for the eventual support he received.
