“It happened,” said<\/a> progressive online political commentator Hasan Piker on Sunday in a cryptic post on the social media site X\u2014one that suggested he wasn’t altogether surprised when he was detained for several hours by border agents at a Chicago airport after flying back to the U.S. from France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained to his 1.5 million followers later that he had been stopped by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents “for additional questioning.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m out, it wasn’t that bad,” said Piker. “Very strange experience overall though.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piker shares his commentary primarily on YouTube and the streaming platform Twitch, and detailed the ordeal for his followers on both platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
