Yes, he doesn't offer evidence the DHS visited him, but I don't see which evidence he could have on that, if you know please share with us. As it stands I don't see any reason to call BS from the start, it seems to fit the DHS's MO, I don't see what's unbelievable about it.
On his video on the CIA, I've never seen another case of a YouTube video showing three content warnings (on Android) before letting you watch it. How directly involved the American government is on it is anyone's guess, it's probably a more systematic action from YouTube, but I wouldn't doubt the government directly requested to not promote it in any way.

Give the names and phone numbers of the DHS agents that he claims contacted him (and he claims he got a name + number). Provide any sort of previous communication he had about the event, even privately (obviously with the other party's permission). He tweets several times a day, but you're telling me he decided not to share any info about this story until some mostly-unrelated incident months later???

No this is not the DHS's MO. No other person documenting police violence in the US (of which there are many) have claimed to receive a DHS visit. Why only the author?

I only get 2 content warnings, and really? We seem to have hardcore walked back the claim YouTube is shadowbanning his video to "YouTube added an extra content warning!" - That's the best evidence of shadowbanning you have?

Journalists surveilled by the DHS for documenting police violence in the US (the best I could do with your very specific request) https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/31/dhs-intellig...
YouTube quickly rolled back on the supposed shadowban, but it's very well documented by users on Twitter, Reddit and YouTube, to the point he would need to have a bot army to fake it. I mentioned the warnings on the video as further evidence of YouTube (specifically or systematically, IDK) targeting the video.
Now where you have a good point in my opinion is that he could have shared info on the agents, if he had this info and was legally allowed to. There are reasons he could have not shared, but it's still a good point of speculation.
