Sami Hamdi, a British political commentator and pro-Palestinian activist, will voluntarily leave the United States two weeks after being detained by federal immigration authorities for deportation, his family said on Monday.

Hamdi was in Sacramento as part of a speaking tour organized by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim advocacy group.
