Summary

Germany is monitoring U.S. detentions of its citizens after three Germans were recently held by immigration authorities.

Two tourists were detained at the Mexico-U.S. border and later deported, while a Green Card holder, Fabian Schmidt, remains in custody in Rhode Island.

The German Foreign Ministry is assessing whether these cases reflect a broader policy shift under President Trump, whose administration has intensified immigration crackdowns.

Germany may adjust its travel advice based on further developments. U.S. officials have not clarified why Schmidt was detained.

    See, the mistake these German visitors are making is that they aren’t Nazi-era rocket engineers. If they just fit into that category they’d be welcomed with open arms.

      I an equally intolerant towards what’s happening as European. (also im veeeery progressive)

      But isn’t calling them fascists more adequate? Since n%*zis were distinct to an ideology vs jews for example.

      I see that mr bust did the salute, but I’ve also seen an article about a neo fascism group called dark enlightenment. That should be the group we’re talking about here.

      Curious how you guys see it
