Sami Hamdi, a 35-year-old British journalist and father of three, was arrested by ICE agents at San Francisco International Airport on October 26 while on a US speaking tour. He was detained as part of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. His wife, Soumaya Hamdi, reported that his health deteriorated in custody and described a phone call in which he was struggling to speak and said he was in severe pain on the left side of his stomach. She said he had been asking for hours to see a doctor but had not been seen. The British consulate, Hamdi's lawyers and the Council on American-Islamic Relations were contacted and called for his release and medical attention.
