Disturbing entry refuses: German citizens in danger!
Numerous arrests when entering the USA unsettle travelers, especially Germans, and show the consequences of strict migration policy.
Disturbing entry refuses: German citizens in danger!
A worrying wave of arrests when entering the USA provides uncertainty among holidaymakers and foreigners living in the United States. According to information from OE24, several people, including German citizens, were denied entry despite complete documents, which in some cases led to weeks of deportation. The reason for this stricter handling could be the migration policy of former President Donald Trump, who had already announced a tightening of the entry requirements during election campaign times.
The Federal Foreign Office in Berlin has updated the travel instructions and warns that criminal records in the USA and incorrect information about the purpose of the residence can lead to arrest or deportation. Reports from Der SPIEGEL , reports more about sharp surveys when entering. In a particularly striking case, a Lebanese doctor with a valid visa was deported because you found supposed connections to the HISBOLLAH on her cell phone, even though a court had prohibited deportation. A German citizen living in the United States was also arrested because he was misunderstood during a survey.
The increased control of people who are committed to certain political powers or organizations is also worrying. A prominent GreenCard holder was arrested due to his political activities and involved in a legal dispute. The growing number of such incidents raises questions about the fairness and validity of the United States' entry procedures and could indicate that the previous control mechanisms are weakened, as critically looking at by OE24 and the Spiegel. The future of this strict entry policy remains uncertain.
