After three separate instances in which German citizens with legal papers were denied access to and held in custody, the German government is looking into whether U.S. immigration policy has recently changed.
Berlin is in” near contact” with the U.S. government, according to a spokesperson for the German Embassy in Washington, according to a statement released on Tuesday for the Washington Examiner.
According to Dr. Martin Jungius, a spokesman for the embassy,” the appropriate Consulates General of the Federal Republic of Germany are aware of the situations and have been in close touch with the appropriate U.S. government as well as with the people of the affected people.” We graciously ask for your knowledge that we are unable to provide any additional information regarding the cases due to privacy and data protection legislation.
The German Foreign Ministry stated on Monday that it is “monitoring the position” to find out whether the Trump administration has reacted to European tourists and immigrants and provide more information based on the detention.
European citizens were unable to enter the country and were detained for imprisonment when they were detained, according to Germany’s foreign ministry official Sebastian Fischer, who recently learned of three cases.
Fischer added that officials in Berlin, the capital of Germany, are also coordinating with those in other European nations to see if residents there have had similar issues while attempting to enter the country officially.
” We will change our journey and safety advice once we have a clear picture, if needed,” Fischer said.
Two visitors and a person who was detained while trying to enter the United States three times in the last two weeks are the subjects of an investigation by German authorities.
In one example, lawful permanent resident of the United States, Fabian Schmidt, was detained after flying into Boston and later transferred to a Rhode Island provincial immigration detention center earlier this month. Astrid Senior, Schmidt’s family, claimed that customs at the airport strip-searched and gave her 34-year-old son a cold shower.
He fainted while being held at the airport, and he was taken to the hospital before being transferred to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confinement facility.
In the second incident, tattoo designer Jessica Brösche, 29, was detained on January 25 while attempting to drive from Tijuana, north Mexico, to San Diego, California, with a friend of hers.
According to a GoFundMe website set up by a companion on her behalf, Brösche was traveling to the United States under the ESTA Visa Waiver Program.
Brösche was informed by traditions that she would be held in custody for a number of times, but she was later transferred to and held there for six months before being freed and flown back to Germany.
Lucas Sielaff, 25, entered the United States on a holiday card and traveled to Tijuana at the same port of entry as Brösche was detained. According to him in an interview with European press shop Tages-Anzeiger, Sielaff was detained and detained for three months on his return to the United States on February 18.
