More and more German citizens are being imprisoned and deported when entering the US. The federal government now responds with a tightening of the travel instructions. Travelers are particularly affected by criminal registers, false information or minimal visa transition.
In recent weeks there have been cases in which German citizens in the United States have been deported in deportation. The Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs speaks of at least three known incidents in which Germans were immediately established or deported after a short time. To make travelers aware, the official information from the ministry has now been revised.
Assumed smallness with hard consequences
“Preventive in the United States, false information about the purpose of the home or a small exceeding of the stay can lead to arrest, deportation and deportation,” says the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry emphasizes that this is not a travel warning, but is a clarification of the existing provisions.
Why are Germans suddenly rejected?
An important reason for the drastic measures is the restrictive immigration policy of the United States. The American border authorities apparently sharpened the procedure for foreign travelers. People who have already had problems with their residence status or who have violated the input requirements in the past are particularly affected.
The ministry also warns too much to rely on an approved electronic access permit (ESTA) or a visa. “The final decision about access is always due to the American border authorities,” said a spokesperson for the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A visa is not a guarantee for a problem -free input.
Hard conditions for deported
Affected people report humiliating detention conditions in the United States. The 25-year-old Lucas Sielaff described how to spend two days in a cell before he was brought to a deportation prison with ankle chats and handcuffs. Another case in which a German in Boston was held for more than a week also caused a sensation.
In two of the well -known cases, German citizens have now been able to return home, but the uncertainty remains: anyone traveling to the US must be aware that even small disagreements can lead to detention. The Federal Government urgently advises to find out about the applicable rules before the trip and to pay attention to full and truthful information upon arrival.
