Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics
"They straight up tried to get something out of me that I think they could use to basically detain me permanently"
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.

No fan of Hasan, but this shouldn't be happening to anyone.
Who asked?
everyone loves ethan here so here's a summary of hasan not supporting terror groups

You desperately need to escape the bubble that you're in as a member of Ethan's community. He's become a useful idiot for Israeli propagandists and now even the MAGA fascists - as evidenced by the details of Ethan's false accusations against Hasan being brought up by the CBP agent who detained him. By attacking and slandering pro-Palestinian content creators and influencers he feels personally slighted by he is unwittingly doing the bidding of Netanyahu and Trump both.
Ew theres h3 fans on lemmy :(
I'm not a H3 fan but Hasan and his followers are toxic shitbags that have been relentless harassing the Kleins by peddling false rumours of child abuse and maliciously calling CPS on them. And iDubbbz is frankly a hypocrite for how he handled his excuse of a Content Cop on H3.
maliciously calling CPS on them.
Hasan decries these acts btw.
And we don't even know who's making the call. Sure, Hasan represents a sizable community that on the whole is against H3, but there is still room for other actors in that balance equation. H3 has rubbed off a lot of their own fans. Could those people also be suspect? We don't know for sure.

There is literally video evidence of Denims (a streamer strongly associated with Hasan's circle chatting to her viewers about calling CPS on the Kleins.) Unfortunately finding the footage itself was hard so I had to rely on a clip of Asmongold reacting to the drama. And before you tell me she isn't... she's collabed with Hasan a few times, defended him in this whole spat, and even appeared alongside him and fr0gan in the Content Cop H3 video. Apparently some of the disinformative tweets about Ethan were actually replied to/reposted by Anisa (Ian's wife) too.

iDubbbz didn't even mention the CPS situation once in his Content Cop video (important for the context of the clips he was using to make Ethan look bad), and even in his Content Deputy response his whole response to this was just bad.

Releasing that Content Cop in the first place made Ian look like a massive hypocrite, especially when he effectively apologized for his past series and some of the hurtful things he said. It's clear he only dropped his latest CC out of desperation because he lost a lot of viewership from how badly he's handled drama surrounding Creator Clash.
Denims is not Hasan, now is she "strongly associated" with him. I've been watching Hasan for years and only recently have heard of her.
Also she did not call, ask her viewers to call, or endorse the calling of cps in the video you linked or anywhere else I've seen people make the claim.
so all three of your stupid points are wrong and irrelevant.
Denims
So not Hasan?
Where is your proof that Hasan personally told his chat to call in the CPS check?
I remember seeing a clip of the vapenation dude discussing at length and excessive detail the conditions his children were living in on his show. That clip alone likely warranted a check, no other content creators or their fanbases necessary.

what makes you think i'm an h3 fan? maybe i'm just critical of hasan
