Summary
Germany updated its travel advice for the US after three German nationals were detained despite holding valid visas or entry waivers.
The Foreign Office clarified that holding a US visa or ESTA approval does not guarantee entry, as border authorities have the final say.
Recent detentions include a green card holder held at Boston airport and two others detained at the US-Mexico border.
Germany investigates whether these cases reflect a broader policy shift under Trump’s tighter immigration policies.
I’ve been wondering that too. Why not just say “nope” and have them take a plane home?
But then how do you make them suffer if they leave?
The detention centers are private and run by large corps, which receive taxpayer money for every person detained. They’re detaining people because they get paid to do so!
