Summary

U.S. immigration authorities detained Fabian Schmidt, a 34-year-old German national and legal U.S. resident, at Boston Logan Airport on March 7.

He was interrogated, hospitalized, and later transferred to an ICE detention facility in Rhode Island. His family, unaware of any legal issues, has hired a lawyer.

Schmidt had recently traveled to Germany and was returning home to New Hampshire. His case raises concerns amid Trump’s stricter immigration policies.

The German embassy is monitoring the situation but has not disclosed details. ICE has not commented.

      Ever since the Bush years, the Supreme Court held that the 4th amendment doesn’t apply for border crossings. And again, nobody did anything to try and overturn that.

      The border also extends to 100 miles from the actual borders, so like 80% of Americans are basically permanently under the jurisdiction of border patrol.
