Turisti tedeschi adolescenti ammanettati e deportati dalle Hawaii per prenotazione “sospetto” alberghiera “avevamo già notato un po ‘di ciò che stava accadendo negli Stati Uniti, ma al momento non pensavamo che stesse accadendo ai tedeschi”, dice Maria Lepère

>The German Foreign Office … reminded travelers that ESTA approval does not guarantee entry to the U.S. — a decision left to border officials at the point of arrival.
>Germany updated its travel advisory to the U.S. last month, following some visitors’ turbulent experiences in the country amid Donald Trump’s border crackdown.
>It emphasized that a visa or entry waiver does not guarantee entry to the country after several German nationals had recently been detained at the border.
INB4 the russian trolls come to misrepresent the situation:
The abnormal thing isn’t them not being let in. It’s them being put in prison uniforms and detained for several days in horrible conditions (moldy mattresses, expired food, etc). Not even authoritarian countries like Saudi Arabia or russia will do that (at least not to Europeans).
Go to the US, be treated like a leper.
Funny thing is you can still find people here in germany telling you they go to the usa this summer for vacation because
„The flights and hotels are so cheap“
Yezz i wonder why…
In another article one of them mentioned that they said to those agents that they are freelancers. So being a freelancer is apparently another one of those “suspicious” things that immediately raises red flags with US border agents…
But good reminder that ESTA approval doesn’t guarantee entry to the US. So better not seek approval in the first place and take your money somewhere else.
“a little bit”?
Lol US – couple months ago I will think that’s some joke, now it like – good it wasn’t Salvador
You’re White. But you weren’t that white.
A reminder that if you’re worried about not being allowed into the USA you can use the US border in Dublin and shannon airports. They will just release you straight back into the EU, instead of handcuff you.
Why are Europeans still traveling to the U.S.? How many more horror stories do you need? Stop spending money in the US
Same thing the Trump voters said; It won’t affect us…
Real German or….newly arrived German?
“We didn’t think it was going to happen to us because we are white” Lol, nice mindset.
And yet just the other day I stumbled on an American trucker livestreaming on TikTok telling his fellow Americans not to travel to Europe because the EU will look through your social media and deport you. And that France bans people who disagree or whatever. And if that’s not fascism, what is.
Like it’s the other way around dude, the USA is the one that denied entry to a French scientist for expressing a negative opinion of Trump on Twitter.
You the one who voted in a dictator and you’re gobbling and regurgitating the lies your masters feed you like a dog.
Some MAGA cunt did a tiktok and because she traveled a lot she wqs saying that its normal you fill in the hotel were you gonna stay, every country requires that.
Bitch I’ve travelled over a dozen times to the authoritarian dictatorship called china. Probably half of the times as soon as I landed, (my business) plans changed, and I’d stay in another hotel. Never once was I detained and deported.
Let’s just not go anywhere near the orange mongrel.
Let’s see how their tourism industry likes not having any European tourists this Summer.
We need to understand that things changed. I guess israeli citizens might be only, who still travel safe to the US.
Phew. I really wanted to visit NYC for all my life. Finally went a month before the election last year. We had a blast there and wanted to book another flight for this year but we hasitated for some personal reasons that would not allow us flying. So luckily we didn’t book. See ya after the orange one is gon, my Yankee friends!
No sympathy, you wouldn’t fly to Iran, so if you fly to America thinking it won’t happen to you, it’s on you.
Did this exact kind of trip with my husband for our honeymoon in 2007. We booked the first and last nights in Honolulu and figured out the rest in between.
It was an amazing experience and raised not a single eyebrow from Homeland Security. They were weird and unfriendly even back then but we put it down to a rentacops generally inflated self importance and lack of any discernible sense of humour. Until my bag was searched and the suspicious item turned out to be sushi and the guy actually laughed.
It’s terrifying how things have changed.
It is laughable how these border patrols and their superior even think that someone from Germany would even want to live in the US. Do they not understand the lifelong scam they live in?
Try getting an arrest warrant from the ICC next time. The red carpet will be rolled out for you
If the US keeps flipping back and forth into fascism you cannot trust that it will be a sane place to visit or do business with. They don’t honour their own treaties. They elected a criminal conman. How can you trust them?
Lmao another bunch of “but to me????”
We don’t have the whole story.
They are travelling from multiple places.
Likely need to work to make money and lied about it.
You can’t show up to a place and expect to stay for weeks and have no money.
Suspicious, habe no issue with this Liz
However it’s two young girls, don’t need to be locked up.
I mean the notion that there was mold on the mattress is bad for a first world nation.
To be frank, these things have always happened to Global South people visiting the US for decades, but why is it only a problem now when “it was happening to Germans”?
I saw people trying to justify this by saying, “well, Hawaii is a hub for human trafficking and this was two young women traveling alone, so it was for their safety.”
I’m no expert but I’m pretty sure that if you find people you suspect of being trafficked, you don’t stick them in handcuffs.
