Hasan's a moron, but detaining him for his opinions is definitely unwarranted and stinks of the same bullshit reasons that this administration has been using to play hide and seek and deport anyone they don't like.

Ive been stopped and questioned by border patrol for hours at least 3 times over the last 15 years. Apparently I'm an asshole and this is how they "get their revenge" on you. This guy was only stopped once..... amateur.
I find it crazy to hear this coming from the US. It was all over the news when Serbia detained a Croatian singer trying to cross the border or trying to deport people with Croatian citizenship, crazy to see the same thing happening in the US.

Never heard of this guy but must have hit a nerve if a whole Hasbara brigade is showing up here to trash talk him.
That being said, it’s an interesting turn of events that apparently units around immigration take the role of Gestapo. Makes a lot of sense given what types of people would even want to do such a job but it’s still not what I expected when they said fascism is coming back.
Right wing groups have been targeting him for his support of Palestine and being critical of Israel.

They are going after white-passing US citizens now?
If they're known left-wingers, yes.

These people get to ask Hasan head-empty questions for hours and get paid. To think his entire fanbase has been doing it for free this entire time
Like so many other political pundits, Hasan Piker is an asshole but obviously he should have the right to be that without anyone (edit with official authority) questioning him.
