Sami Hamdi, a UK Muslim journalist, was targeted and detained by Donald Trump’s immigration agents at a US airport amid a smear campaign led by Trump ally and Islamophobe Laura Loomer. After weeks in detention, he joins Prem Thakker in a live town hall to detail how and why the Trump administration went after him, the conditions he faced in detention, and much more.

In this Zoom Q&A, Prem and Hamdi took questions from Zeteo’s paid subscribers. Subscribe to Zeteo.com to join future conversations with big names, and to get first access to hard-hitting discussions like this one: https://zeteo.com/subscribe

Watch the full video to hear about Hamdi’s horrific stories from ICE detention, the plight of his fellow detainees, and why he thinks Trump and ICE's fascistic rampage in the US may actually have a positive impact in the long run.
