Summary
European tourists traveling to the U.S. face increasing detentions and deportations under the Trump administration, sparking fear and uncertainty.
Several cases involved harsh treatment and lengthy detention despite valid travel permits. U.S. authorities cited visa violations without providing clear reasons.
Critics, including nonprofit leaders and affected families, condemn the actions as excessive and harmful.
Legal challenges against the administration’s immigration policies are mounting, as travelers reconsider visits to the U.S. amid heightened anti-immigrant sentiment.
Don’t go to the US, it’s overhyped anyway
I’ve been there twice, first time during 2008 and the security was crazy. Had homeland security already doing background check in the airport at the checkin counter, and while there i had two “VIP” searches due to connecting flights. Next time was just a few months ago, was scared they’d do some nasty searches and checks again but this time it was far more pleasant, signed a form on the internet, although it cost a bit, everything went smootly. I was suprised that the traveling was like going to all other places. The people are great, the food is great and really an overall great experience.
I will NOT set my foot there again as long as Trump is in power and really, i was scared to say anything on the internet before going because he’d already won the election which is quite telling but since biden was still running things i felt safe taking my electronics. Now i doubt they’ll ever let me back in 😂
