As a tumultuous year comes to a close, we’ve witnessed profound changes in the political landscape in just a few short months.

In many ways, the cause of Palestinian liberation has made unprecedented strides, not only in rapidly shifting public opinion… 🧵/1

CAIR National has confirmed that Hamdi is currently still in ICE custody pending removal from the U.S. & their attorneys and partners are in the process of challenging this egregious action by the U.S. government against him.

We back CAIR National's call for the immediate release of Sami Hamdi.
October 27, 2025 at 12:10 AM
Far right agitator and "proud Islamophobe" Laura Loomer has boasted about Hamdi's detention, calling him a "jihadist" and taking credit for setting these events in motion.

In another authoritarian, anti-Palestinian & Islamophobic act that undermines free speech and targets Muslim activists for speaking out in support of Palestinians, U.S. immigration officials have detained and revoked the visa of Sami Hamdi at San Francisco Internationa Airport.

Immigrant rights are under attack in the United States, and advocacy for Palestinian human rights has made many immigrants, permanent residents & international students direct targets for abuse & deportation by the state.

Thank you Supervisor @bilalmahmood.bsky.social for leading on this.

Just last week, the IRS announced a policy that will share confidential taxpayer data with ICE.

This is unacceptable.

Today, on Tax Day, we stood with the immigrant communities of San Francisco to affirm its status as a sanctuary city & to reject the IRS coordinating w/ICE.

Today Supervisor @bilalmahmood.bsky.social introduced a resolution to assert the need for San Francisco not to allow a federal law enforcement agency to encroach on our sanctuary policies.
