Amidst President Trump's immigration policies, Canada and several European nations are advising their citizens on the U.S. entry rules due to heightened detentions and deportations. Reports have emerged of travelers being treated harshly, including long detainment periods. Notable cases include a German tourist held for 16 days and another for over six weeks, reflecting a troubling pattern that raises concerns about safety for foreigners visiting the U.S. These incidents have prompted political statements and wider alarms about the implications of such immigration enforcement.
Charlie Angus, leader of Canada's New Democratic Party, stated, 'We have seen too many stories of citizens being pulled out of airport lines, and being fingerprinted and deported, as if they were criminals. Citizens being kidnapped to illegal detention by ICE...this is not the actions of a Democratic nation.'
Lucas Sielaff, a German tourist, recounted his experience saying, 'Nobody is safe there anymore to come to America as a tourist.' He was detained for 16 days after returning from Mexico.
Jessica Brösche described her ICE detention as 'like a horror movie,' stating, 'They were screaming in all different rooms. After nine days, she said she went so insane that she started punching the walls and then she's got blood on her knuckles.'
The family of a British woman held for three weeks described the conditions as 'horrendous' due to a visa error, highlighting the severe impact of sudden immigration policies on travelers.
