Secretary of State Marco Rubio Deports Suspected Muslim Brotherhood Leader

BREITBART — The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that a British journalist, Sami Hamdi, who is suspected of being a member of the Islamic extremist group the Muslim Brotherhood, is in ICE custody and faces deportation from the United States.

In a post on X, DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin thanked Secretary of State Marco Rubio, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, and “the men and women of law enforcement” for their work. McLaughlin added that the visa of Sami Hamdi has been revoked.

“Thanks to the work of @Sec_Noem and @SecRubio and the men and women of law enforcement, this individual’s visa was revoked and he is in ICE custody pending removal,” McLaughlin wrote. “Under President Trump, those who support terrorism and undermine American national security will not be allowed to work or visit this country.”

In response to Hamdi’s arrest, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a statement that their “attorneys and partners” were attempting to “address this injustice,” and continued to “call on ICE to immediately account for and release Mr. Hamdi.”

Terrorist Cell Arrested by FBI from a Radical pro-Palestinian Group

U.S. authorities announced that four members of a pro-Palestinian organization calling itself the “Turtle Island Liberation Front” were arrested on suspicion of planning a coordinated series of bomb attacks intended to be carried out on New Year’s Eve.

According to the authorities, the suspects were taken into custody before any explosives were detonated. The investigation is ongoing, and officials say additional details about the targets, materials, and possible accomplices have not yet been made public.

This case highlights growing concerns among U.S. and allied security services about radicalized networks exploiting the Palestinian issue to justify planned acts of mass-casualty terrorism. The arrests underscore the continued threat posed by extremist groups operating inside Western countries and the importance of intelligence-led counterterrorism efforts to prevent attacks before civilians are harmed.
