The Foreign Office stressed that the new advisory does not constitute a travel warning. It comes after US immigration authorities detained multiple German nationals upon arrival.

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.

    Border Patrol cannot search vehicles in the 100-mile zone without a warrant or “probable cause” (a reasonable belief, based on the circumstances, that an immigration violation or crime has likely occurred).

    So, hypothetically, what stops Mexico from removing ICEs rights to search at all within that 100mile zone?

      Isn’t that zone extending inside the US rather than outside? ICE has no right to do anything outside the US, they may cooperate with local authorities, but they are effectively mall cops, aren’t they?

      So ICE can abduct and rape you in NYC, but not do so in Juarez, Mexico as I understand.
