Nov. 10 (UPI) -- British journalist and political commentator Sami Hamdi, who has been in U.S. immigration custody since late last month, is to be released, his wife and attorneys said Monday.
Hamdi, a 35-year-old vocal supporter of Palestinians and a critic of Israel, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Oct. 26 at San Francisco International Airport amid his U.S. speaking tour. Immigration authorities said his visa was revoked on accusations of supporting terrorism, though no proof was made public.
In a statement on X, Hamdi's wife, Soumaya Hamid, said her husband was "coming home."
"Elated doesn't begin to describe the feeling," she said.
