These are not good examples in my opinion. I don’t doubt there’s abuse of power but these examples, so far, are weak. Maybe I have less pity because the same thing happened to my European family member. It sucked and my family member had a hard time returning to their country after 30 years away but they broke the law. Meanwhile, Americans are forced to move heaven and earth to legally move abroad because of strict laws. You can’t have double standards.

On Friday, Germany's Foreign Office adjusted its travel advisory after several of its citizens were reportedly arrested and detained by immigration authorities while entering the U.S., according to local media reports. The country is warning citizens that entering the U.S. through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) or a visa does not guarantee the right to enter the country.

The foreign office's guidance says that, because U.S. border officials have the final authority to make decisions about whether someone can enter the country, there's nothing that the German government can do to reverse a denial of entry. It recommends that travelers be able to provide proof of their return trip home, such as a plane ticket.

A German official on Saturday told NPR the country's consulates general are aware of cases of citizens being detained and are in contact with their families as well as U.S. officials.

He’s 25 and she’s 43. That might be what made them suspicious. Of course they allow the geriatric men to bring their mail order brides in all the time. Circus.
