"U.K. journalist Sami Hamdi, a 35-year-old father of three and outspoken critic of Israel's genocide in Gaza, was residing in the U.S. on a travel visa when he was abducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at San Francisco International Airport on October 26. His wife, Soumaya Hamdi, only found out he was being detained after a friend sent her a text message about DHS bragging about the abduction on social media."
""He called me on Saturday and I could barely hear him on the phone," she told the publication. "He was clearly struggling to speak properly and he said: 'Soumaya, I'm in a lot of pain. I've been asking for hours to see a doctor. They haven't brought me one. I need you to help me find a way to help me see a doctor.'""
