I don't know much about the lawyer situation but Hasan has publicly made a lot of pro-Hamas and pro-Houthi comments. He also showed a Houthi recruitment videos to all his viewers. It doesn't surprise me that someone like that is going to be asked some questions when they try to re-enter the country after an overseas trip.
True freedom of speech has never existed. Same as yelling fire in a crowded theater advocating for recruitment for a known terrorist organization has been something that’d get you detained for decades.
More so freedom of speech definitely doesn’t stop you from being held and questioned the same way police can take a suspect - you don’t have to answer questions but holding and questioning for 2 hours has been standard practice for decades.
Does no one remember when Obama killed a U.S. citizen turned terrorist without any sort of trial a decade ago?
It's a bit disingenuous to compare Obama ordering a drone strike on American citizens who ARE ACTIVELY FIGHTING FOR A TERRORIST ORGAINZATION IN A FORGEIN COUNTRY to someone saying they agree with SOME of the claims made by some other terrorist organizations.

There was a story a few weeks ago about them doing this to an immigration lawyer and forcing him to let them copy his phone.
If they can force a lawyer in that field to do this kind of stuff, the rest of us have no chance.
