Ever since US President Donald Trump took office, there have been several high tourist incidents, and visa owners have been stopped at American border crossings or have been held for weeks at US immigration detention facilities.
In recent weeks, Britain has revised its advice to citizens traveling to the United States to include a warning to determine anyone to violate their entry rules for arrest or detention.
Germany has updated its travel counseling this week to emphasize that the visa or renunciation of entering does not guarantee its citizens’ entry after several Germans have been recently detained on the border, said a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The American and her German fiancé spoke with Associated Press about their temptation after returning from Mexico in February.
American border agents Lisice put Lennon Tyler, an American citizen, and tied her to the bench, while her fiancé Lucas Sielaff was accused of violating the rules of his 90-day American tourist license, the couple said.
They returned on February 18, only 22 days in Sielaff’s 90-day tourist license, and Tyler said her partner was aggressively questioned and struggled to answer in her second language. The authorities later put on a handcuffed and shackled Sielaff and sent it to a crowded American immigration detention center.
Sielaff said his search for his whole body and ordered him to hand over his cellphone and things. He was placed in a holding cell, where he slept on the bench for two days before being transferred to the OTay Meat Center in San Diego.
Two weeks later, they finally told him that he was flying directly to Germany and endured a checking number. After an angry call from Sielaff, Tyler bought a ticket for $ 2,744. Her fiancé flew back on March 5.
“What happened on the border was just a sharp abuse of the power of border patrol,” said Tyler, who plans to sue the US government.
A non -profit clerk surprised by the detention
American immigration and customs execution (Ice) said Ue -Mail AP -in Sielaff and Jessica Brösche – another German, who was held in a separate incident for 45 days – “they considered the unacceptable” customs and border protection.
This agency said that it could not discuss specifics, but “if the statutes or visa conditions are violated, passengers may be subject to custody and removal.” Agencies have not commented on other cases.
Both German tourists were allowed in the United States within the renunciation program offered to the selected group of countries, mainly in Europe and Asia, whose citizens were allowed to travel to the US for work or free time for up to 90 days without getting a visa in advance.
Even if they are authorized to travel under this system, they can still be banned from entering the country.
Trump’s administration has deported more than 200 immigrants, referring to the Law on External Enemies – a measure of war – arguing that members of the DE Aragua, a Venecuela gang. Andrew Chang explains that Trump interprets the Language of the Law of 1798 to avoid the standard immigration court system and why experts say it is a sliding slope.
But Pedro Rios, director of the American Friends Committee, a non -profit organization that is AIDS Migrants, said Associated Press in the 22 years that he worked on the border, never saw passengers from Western Europe and Canada, longtime American allies, as happened in numerous incidents reported media.
“The only reason I see is that a much more ardent atmosphere is against immigrants,” Rios said.
A French scientist denies
A French scientist has also recently been denied the entry into the United States to a conference, under controversial circumstances.
“I found out with concern that a French researcher about the task for the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), which traveled to a conference near Houston, was deprived of the entry into the United States before expelled,” said the Minister of Higher Education and Research by Philippe Baptiste in a statement for the France-Persa Agency.
The measure was obviously taken because the scientist expressed his personal opinion on the research policy of Trump’s administration, he added, but did not develop.

A spokesman for US Customs and Border Protection said that privacy limitations had banned the Agency to discuss certain cases, but that the spokesman for the Ministry of Internal Security had fiercely denied the allegation.
Tricia spokeswoman McLaughlin said on social media that “the French researcher in question owned confidential information about his electronic device from the National Los Alamos-Alamos National Laboratory, leaving a non-warning agreement-not acknowledged that he had taken without approval and tried to hide.”
The French government has yet to respond to McLaughlin’s statement.

The ban on travel is not originally in accordance with the legal control of the courts, and later changed by its administration.
