Great Britain and Germany warn travelers who go to the USA

  • The United Kingdom and Germany updated the travel advice to warn citizens that a visa or ESTA permit does not guarantee entry to the USA
  • The warnings follow report that European travelers are arrested or denied in the US borders, even though they have valid travel documents.

Since the United States exacerbates the immigration authority under President Donald Trump, both the United Kingdom and Germany have updated its travel counseling to warn citizens that a valid visa or an EStA permit does not guarantee that it guarantees entry into the country.

The updated guidelines follow a number of detainees in which European travelers were involved who were denied entry to US borders – some even arrested or held in custody before they were sent home. At the beginning of this week, two German citizens were stopped on the southern border.

The German Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that one of the cases was examined and included its consulate in Boston to help one of the people still affected.

“The final decision as to whether a person can enter the USA is due to the US limitation authorities,” said a spokesman for the foreign office in Germany. The Council emphasized that false information, former criminal records or even minor excesses could lead to arrest, deportation or detention in previous travels without legal recourse.

Great Britain published a similar warning. In its revised travel guide, the British foreign office now warns: “They can be arrested or detained if they violate the rules.”

The warnings in Europe are increasingly concerned about Trump’s executive commands, which focus on stricter visa screening, border enforcement and procedure of immigration. A Canadian woman and a British artist have recently imprisoned, which has drawn attention to the increasingly strict attitude of the United States in the entry ports.

The story goes below.

Despite valid travel documents, travelers are reminded of the fact that border officers have the last word – and it is a real way to be rejected.

Germany’s foreign office advises the travelers to take over documentation who carry out their return plans and prepare for the survey at the border. Travelers who encounter problems are asked to contact the US Ministry of Homeland Security after their return.

The US State Department said it would enforce the visa rules and other occurrence conditions.

Denmark, Finland issues advice for transgender travelers to the USA

The concerns also expand beyond border protocols. Newsweek initially reported that Denmark and Finland have also revised their travel advice – especially for transgender and non -binary travelers.

Coating with the refusal of the US government to recognize gender markers beyond men or women, both countries warn that travelers can be denied with an “X” -before the gender and the birth -sex. The displacement follows Trump’s executive orders that turn back the rights for transgender and non -binaries.

These changes are also used in the US LGBTQ+ tunites, in which many trans- and non-binary travelers say that they are now “stuck” in the United States because they fear for abuse or refusal to re-enter when they travel abroad. Interest representative groups are calling for clear guidelines for marginalized travelers due to a growing feeling of uncertainty.

It remains to be seen whether these warnings affect tourism or cause a shift in US politics.
