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.

Doesn't excuse linking to Zionists.

i was actually linking to hasan grooming his friends using terror group videos, just like his young audience

hasan has said on other podcasts that he is "just an entertainer" that is "a part of the radicalization funnel for 'the cause'"

seems obvious what the destination of this funnel is
