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.

    I can’t find any evidence for this? I only found a source of him saying Putin wouldn’t invade Ukraine.

    Hasan Piker: I said Russia will never invade Ukraine, because Putin is a bad person, but he’s not a mad person.

        Oh I knew about Hasan saying Russia wouldn’t attack Ukraine. I mean I don’t know where the being best buds with Putin came from.

      I don’t care enough to sift through millions of hasan clips from 3 years ago to provide one person source.

      I used to watch him before the invasion. But when he started banning pro-NATO people from his chat, and saying that putin is just being defensive, because of NATO’s imperialistic nature.

      Dude’s an american idiot.
