Statewatch | EU prepares to give US direct access to police and immigration databases
www.statewatch.org
The massive increase in violent immigration raids, detention and deportation underway in the US has put off many people from visiting the country. Soon there may be yet another reason to think twice about taking a trip to the “land of the free”: US immigration and law enforcement agencies could be given the power to search European databases, to identify people posing “a threat to US security.”

The EU is planning to strike a deal with the US that would let the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies search European databases to identify people posing “a threat to US security,” according to a proposal published by the European Commission at the end of July.

    What about we start treating the US as we treat North Korea and people that travel there do it at their own risk, instead of exposing everyone to the American Gestapo?

      It’ll get there t this rate. But not quite yet. That sort of action happens about two years too late, so we have about five to go.
