German teens who ‘intended to work’ were denied entry to US for traveling ‘under false pretenses’: Customs

Maria Lepere and Charlotte Pohl, 18 and 19, arrived in Hawaii on March 18 with short-term travel permits ahead of weeks-long US trip.

The teens claimed CBP targeted them because they hadn’t booked hotels for their entire stay in Hawaii.

“They found it suspicious that we hadn’t fully booked our accommodations for the entire five weeks in Hawaii,” Pohl said. “We wanted to travel spontaneously. Just like we had done in Thailand and New Zealand.”

    Does the 25 days include national holidays like Xmas, etc?

    Nope, those are all added on top.

      Same as here in the UK. It’s depressing hearing how bad people in the US and some other countries have it. Although there is always room for improvement on 25 days!
