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.

Says the prick who appears to support Trump's anti-trans scapegoating.

Saying that half of America voted for him isn't supporting his views but I can see why someone like you, a bootlicker, might believe that.

Tell that to someone without a criminal record from not shutting the fuck up. Follow the Know Your Rights advice of the National Lawyers Guild.

So you should be applauding Piker educating his audience on what the boots are up to.
