Hasan Piker, a left-wing commentator with substantial social media influence, was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection upon returning from France. Although officials claimed his detention was random, Piker expressed that it was evident they were aware of his identity due to his political views. He was interrogated for two hours on various topics, including his criticism of Donald Trump. This incident aligns with reports of politically motivated detentions under the previous administration, raising questions about political targeting within immigration enforcement.
It's very obvious they knew exactly who I was.
I was led to a private room at the airport and was interrogated by CBP agents for around two hours.
They also questioned me regarding my criticism of the Trump administration.
What is this question? It felt like they were trying to find something to tie me to.
