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.
As a German
Same, it’s honestly shameful. Plus this could be an oppurtunity to show teeth without taking a big risk. But our government is busy talking about all the things the new coalition will pretend to do so victims of a fascist uprising aren’t a priority. Travel warnings are overdue and so is getting these people home safely. Otherwise we’re just proving to Trump that we’re as impotent as he thinks we are.
