Overview

  • The German government is investigating three cases of its citizens being detained at U.S. borders despite holding valid travel documents.
  • Fabian Schmidt, a German green card holder, remains detained in Rhode Island after allegedly being mistreated by U.S. immigration officials at Boston Logan Airport.
  • Two German tourists, Jessica Brösche and Lucas Sielaff, were held in detention centers for weeks before being sent back to Germany.
  • Germany updated its travel advisory, cautioning that valid visas or ESTA approvals do not guarantee entry into the U.S., but stopped short of issuing a formal travel warning.
  • The detentions highlight concerns over human rights, shifting U.S. immigration policies under President Trump, and their impact on international travel.
