Hasan Piker, the biggest progressive political streamer in America, was detained by Customs and Border Protection for hours of questioning upon returning to the U.S. from a trip to France this weekend. Piker posted about the incident on X and later talked about it on stream.

He was detained in Chiago and questioned for two hours about protected journalistic activities like who he’s interviewed and his political beliefs. He was asked whether or not he’d interviewed Hamas, Houthis, or Hezbollah members. He was questioned about his opinions on Trump and Israel and asked about his history of bans on Twitch. His phone and laptop were not confiscated.

What’s wrong with supporting Hamas?

Palestinians have a legal right to armed struggle

Palestinian right of armed resistance

UN top court says Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal

Then again if this how many US liberals feel, I am glad I left the US.
