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’m surprised you aren’t installing trenches, barbed wire, and land mines along the border yet

    It’s a really long border. In fact, it’s all but impossible to defend, and greatly favours an invader to pierce - due to its size - than a defender trying to keep people out.

    Canada understands its best option is a France ploy, with politicians toeing the line and letting the barbarians in, while sniping and burning and counter-attacking and fomenting civil war on the nightly.
