https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/05/12/hasan-piker-detained-border-agents-twitch/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/05/12/hasan-... > Piker, a U.S. citizen who streams on Twitch under the name HasanAbi, said in a live stream that he was taken aside after landing at Chicago O’Hare International Airport from Paris on Sunday — despite being enrolled in Global Entry, a CBP program that is supposed to give expedited clearance to “pre-approved, low-risk travelers” returning to the U.S. > Piker said he was brought to a detention room inside O’Hare that had “fluorescent lightbulbs, the whole nine [yards]” and where a CBP agent questioned him for about two hours about his job, his political affiliation, his opinion of Trump and whether he had any connections to terrorist groups.

Hasan's story is totally fabricated, so that's a bad example.

  why would it be fabricated? Given some of the opinions he espouses on Twitch and the hardline posture of ICE today it makes sense they'd interview him based on his opinions on Hamas.

    There was a deconstruction of his tweets timeline somewhere. He said he was questioned for two hours but the timeline shows the time his plane arrived and then an hour later his tweet that he was out. It leaves more like 20-30 minutes for questioning. There is speculation he actually was pulled aside for a routine Global Entry application on arrival interview since he had said he had applied for it in some prior episode.

  That seems like a big claim, do you have any evidence to back it up?

    This YouTube video is making deconstruction and timeline does not corroborate what Hasan is saying and it also looks like it was standard Global Entry interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYvgns0MAdo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYvgns0MAdo

    He tweeted every step of the way though the airport. The tweet timestamps do not match with his tall tale. When asked about it in several interviews recently, he claims he doesn't remember the details too well, conveniently. Besides, he's a well known liar and grifter who caters to the low information voters of the left.
