Spain's government has approved an extradition request by the Trump administration against James "Fergie" Chambers, a wealthy activist wanted over alleged support for Hamas, The Guardian reported. Chambers's legal team claims he is being persecuted for his pro-Palestine advocacy and financial donations to aid organizations.
The decision allows the case to proceed through Spanish courts. Chambers's lawyers have characterized the US charges as politically motivated, linking the extradition bid to his activism rather than criminal conduct.
