The funny thing is that EU countries are viewing this statement from Germany as if it is a negative assertion against President Trump.
The German government, and newly elected German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, is warning its citizens that if they travel to the United States they should be careful not to break the law.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warns travelers that violating U.S. law while President Trump is in office, might get them removed from the U.S. or lose their visa entry privilege.
BERLIN — The German government has sharpened its travel advice for the United States.
According to its website, Berlin’s Foreign Office now warns its citizens that tougher immigration enforcement under U.S. President Donald Trump could land travelers in detention or see them face deportation.
It updated the guidance after several German nationals were detained at U.S. entry points, some held for days before being sent back. Officials now explicitly warn that even minor infractions — such as overstaying a visa or misstating travel plans — could trigger immediate deportation or a ban on future entry. (read more)
This is a major story throughout the EU gaining widespread attention. Yet, to be brutally honest I thought it was a spoof article at first. Apparently, most Germans believed they could break the law in the USA without any consequence.
This feels like some kind of ‘winning’, but I’m not exactly sure how to define it. 😂
Why is such a warning even needed????
On the other hand, I would give warning against traveling to Germany. Turns out social media postings can get you prison over there if they think it’s “hate” or some other forbidden speech there.
Excellent point, Daniel.
I don’t believe you’re even allowed to “think” about opposing views in the privacy of your own home. But, here in the United States you haven’t beenallowed to pray silently, inside your own head, while outside of an abortion clinic or you’ll be arrested.
Germans reverting back to their native way of being, ‘think like us or get on the train’ native way of being.
We know that is the state of affairs outside charnel houses in the UK.
I’ve not once seen an assertion that such an abominable law is in effect in the US.
It is called the ‘FACE Act’.
And if the past is any indication of the future, it won’t be long before they stretch the idea of “blocking access” to include standing near or in front of the entrance praying.
Thank God praying is no longer a crime!
Thank you too President Trump
for recognizing the things to which God is entitled versus duties to the secular government.
I wish that all of our upper level government put out a “warning” to US citizens of this fact.
Speech in Germany will get you arrested and punished.
“Look there! Not here”
Reiner Fullmich in a German prison without a trial for more than a year for speaking out about the Covid fraud is an example of German law.
Reiner Fuellmich is an attorney as well.
Dumkoffs!
Dumkopfs!
This reminds us of our General Norman Schwarzkopf. He was very smart.
Schwarzkopf = blackhead (literal translation)
Maybe President Trump will come out with a statement addressing this goofy German proclamation, along the lines of, “Isn’t this the way it should be?”
I think he should make the point already made about their problems with free speech. Imagining arriving at a German airport and they screen your social media postings, then arrest you for something you said 10 years ago.
JD Vance already made a speech about that at the Summit… I don’t believe it was received very well.
When the truth is hated……who do they serve?
All the more reason to say it again and again and force them to either explain it, justify it or deny it.
If you break the law while in Germany, will it let you come back again or does it have the same policy?
Only if your Muslim.
Well, it’s not like the Germans are deporting the hordes of rapists they let into the country under Angela Merkel.
You can return back to the US in installments.
hey krauts, just don’t come here, we don’t need nazis, we got plenty of dems and rinos….
American Bolsheviks are plentiful.
What happened to “Ich bin wine Berliner?”
Eine
You dont know that watning might be due to the influence of too much fortified wine.
Or it may just be a typo(w next to e).
🙂
prefer the ‘wine’
ein
JFK is a masculine person, not feminine, so he used the German masculine indefinite article – ein – when he is referring to himself.
JFK correctly used proper Berlin (“high German”) grammar in that statement.
You’re a jelly donut?
CIA killed him.
They drank it all.
“I am a breakfast pastry!”
It signals that the EU has walked all over us for decades and we haven’t done anything about it until now. We should have let Europe burn itself down and focused on the Americas.
There is something very self-destructive about many European countries. All of the bad ideas of the past 100 or so years have come from Europe. Our betters in D.C. keep wanting to import them here — why? Because Europe is ready to sink? The world truly has gone mad.
The irony is that they act like they wouldn’t arrest Americans (or any foreigner, minus the migrant hoards) if they broke the law in their country. No self reflection what so ever.
“The final decision on whether a person can enter the United States rests with the American border authorities. But this is no surprise; it is the same in Germany,” a ministry spokesperson told German daily Der Spiegel.
Don’t even think about parking in the wrong place in Germany, you’ll spend time in a gulag
Unless you’re an illegal moocher.
And stay out of the passing lane if you aren’t passing.
I wish that were true here.
LEAD, FOLLOW. OR GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY!
Why did they even need to say that? It was formerly OK?
I don’t know, maybe since San Francisco and other places? in California won’t arrest for stealing from their stores unless it’s more than a thousand dollars, they thought that was country wide and now isn’t? Who knows with those folks!?
Yet within Germany the message is be careful what you say or you will end up in jail………
“This feels like some kind of ‘winning’, but I’m not exactly sure how to define it. “
Exactly
If this is all they have left against Trump then yeah its done and Won!
I define it as “winning” for Patriots
And “whining” for EU
Isn’t it amazing how easily President Trump gets his adversaries to help him defeat themselves while accomplishing his own goals…
Short n sweet…exactly.
Gee!!
Don’t break the law. Anywhere.
Who knew?
If I had to guess, the idiot meant to be a little more nuanced and say something like, “Be careful of any possible infractions that could be perceived as illegal.”
But alas, the leftist mind disease does not think before it speaks or acts…
The German’s are not that nuanced.
Maybe Merz should caution Germans to leave their arrogance at home when traveling to the United States?
Or a warning to Germans to not break _German_ law while in the US, i.e. speaking what they really thing about Muslim invasions…
LOL yes. This certainly seems as non-controversial as something can be. When in a foreign country, don’t break their laws. Your BEST scenario is they ask you to leave and not return. The WORST case nearly everywhere else in the world is far more severe.
Yes, but under the circumstances it had to be announce because it is diffo for Muslims living in Germany.
Beware you who walks the streets of America. Drop that candy wrapper and you could go to jail or be deported. Sounds good to me.
I would define this as dumb EuroTrash globalists getting their knickers in a knot over patently obvious common sense.
be interested in knowing precisely what laws were violated…?
suspicion grows that perhaps these are not ordinary german….that perhaps these are “operatives” who might be trading secrets or unlawfully lobbying Congress…there are so very many europeans that travel back and forth to the US…literally tens of thousands each month. Not all of these people are on vaca…some legit business…but suspicion (not supported by any particular facts, just good guesses), is that the new Trump administration is looking very hard at who is coming and going…from where and to where and in particular what kind of business is taking place.
again, just suspicions….but would actually like to know what kind of violations happened?
stay tuned…if the news turns this off into a black hole, I think we can probably guess pretty accurately these people are not traveling here for legit reasons./
God Bless America
Germans? Or persons with a German passport?
Yeah, the passport thing. Maybe they sent their “immigrants” here during the Biden administration.
Well that’s pretty hilarious. Don’t come to the USA and break the law or you might not be allowed in again. Shouldn’t the people coming here just not break the law because that’s what you normally would do— not break laws? What an incredibly dumb statement.
Problem is the prior Oval Office occupier (actually his Handlers) brought all manner in and gave them a goodie bag, these people are still thinking that applies under PDJT. Sorry, that train has been dragged back to the station for refitting.
Drumpf Derangement Syndrome
The implication is that during demented, pedo Joe Biden’s false/stolen Presidency laws pertaining to foreigners were ignored!!!
Hamburg Cell, anyone?
Ich bin ein Hamburger.
This reminds of someone who once quipped that the Holy Apostle Paul wrote his Epistles to the Thessalonians, Ephesians, and so forth, but not to the Hamburgers. Saint Ansgar later evangelized the tribes in that vicinity.
somehow I thought it was standard operating procedure to not break the law of any country while a guest there! I’ve been to many countries outside the US and always made it a point to be on my best behavior; to be civil, polite and appreciative they allowed me to visit.
Isn’t that the way you are supposed to behave?
It worked for me 🙂
It’s rich coming from the people who came up with the term “Your papers do not appear to be in order.”
A good sign…word is out the Trump Administration means business…
Your terms are ach-ceptable, Herr Merz!
If fairness, he’s been preoccupied with plans for a Blitzkrieg strike through Poland for a Spring Offensive on the Eastern Front.
Like zee Good Old Days!
ps; if we can maliciously and idiotically pretend modern Russia is the old Soviet Union, then we can also pretend modern Germany is the Third Reich, France is the Reign of Terror, the UK is King George and Democrats are Klansmen–all of which are much closer to the truth than the Russian slander.
American Klansmen of the 1910s and 1920s were from both parties and not just Southerners.
The new Night-riders are ANTIFA, which is also a German phrase.
I took time to read more about the history of Anti-Fa in the 1920s and 1930s a few years ago. Interesting on several points and details.
Very good – and true!
Hilarious. What happens in Germany if a visitor breaks the law?
Russian Front
What happens in Germany if a visitor breaks the law?
You mean like Biden and Nuland bombing their energy Pipeline?
>> What happens in Germany if a visitor breaks the law?
Well, it is one thing for a Muslim visitor, and another thing for a American visitor
It’s called Fahrvergnügen!
The US Passport says the same thing. Americans are subject to the laws of the country they are visiting.
#Reciprocal–Winning!
I have the same reaction as Sundance.
It’s a kind of cognitive dissonance between people who have faith in God and those who don’t.
Those who believe in right and wrong and those that believe they ae victims if they can’t break the moral code.
“Officials now explicitly warn that even minor infractions — such as overstaying a visa or misstating travel plans”
-Over 10% of people living in Germany were born in or have family ties to nations which practice jihadism.
-Jihadis have repeatedly abused visa systems to inflitrate and attack Western targets.
Therefore asserting that “overstaying a visa or misstating travel plans” are “minor infractions” is disingenuous. Overstaying a visa or misstating travel plans is a potential national security threat.
The German government wants everyone to think about Helga or Hans overstaying their student visa, when in fact it is Ussayf exploiting visa loopholes and lax enforcement that should concern us.
Bingo!
This statement should be directed towards the migrants that enter Germany you fool.
“minor infractions — such as overstaying a visa or misstating travel plans“
Minor?
I took German in high school so let me translate. It means, don’t burn a Tesla in America no matter what Greta says or you could be jailed for the crime unlike here in our green friendly confines.

“When you have to
killdeport a man, it costs nothing to be polite.”PDJT is dismantling the elitist playhouse one straw bale at a time…and these people don’t like it so are going full Scanners.
It’s all about the economics…anything threatening what they believe to be ‘their money” (and/or power) therefore must be destroyed at all cost. Think: “Musk Steals” Dem placards. He IS stealing…back…from their self-generated gravy train. Or look at these lower rung judges waltzing into the Oval Office blocking The President from doing his duty. Or the protectionism of Epstein Island visitors (not the plane logs…means little, mostly). Or the Lebanese doctor ‘terrorist sympathizer”…sent her home, and for good reason. If German’s want to come here for a vacation, fine. But come here to generate a problem…nope.
All of this is the thief believing the stolen goods are now their rightful property due to ill-gotten possession (especially Congress Critters – how did Sandy Cortez obtain $29mil in 7 years?).
As far as I’m concerned We The People need more of the Administration putting these types on notice, not less…then “the fun” will really begin as the true “no clothes” of the reprobate class will further emerge in full view. When your political opponent is flailing in ineptitude and panic, run the score up….winning matters in this ‘game’.
It is intended as a slap.
Implying that the US is a rogue – narco state where chaos reigns. The fear! Travel with caution.
A dictatorship.
As an aid to people in and around Chicago, there is a website that shares crime incidents by type and location.
It is called HeyJackass dot com.
Bring home to America, from Germany, the tens of thousands of our military stationed there and leave a gigantic financial hole in the German economy from the massive fortune Americans spend keeping a military there.
The Germans do not share American values. They are a lost cause. Western Europe is pretty much a lost cause because of their incompetent leadership. The German government is intentionally destroying its own country.
“The Germans” were never consulted about any of this, just like the American people were never consulted about anything the fraudulent Biden administration did.
It’s called neo naziism.
‘Merz and Merkel’ – Weren’t they the famous musical playwright team that wrote the songs “Muslims Met Abroad In Munich” and “She Faced The Gang Alone?”
IIRC, part of the production that was a huge hit in Germany.
Alas, Germany’s leadership and alliance with Eu.. been in wrong side since Schroeder … and the tyranny reasserted sine reunification, where the “eastern” communists gained such control to wipe the gains any vestiges of sanity or hope in parliament. Es tut mir leid

This article demonstrates what the EU has done with basic law, anything goes and do not expect repercussions.
My upbringing made it very clear that law and rules mean something, ignore them and there will be a price to pay.
This is proof EU leaders truly believe their own people are too stupid to see how nonsensical Friedrich’s statement is.
It’s a warning not to express support for the Palestinians, because Trump is trying to make that a speech crime by pretending that supporting the Palestinians is terrorism.
But feel free to break German law whenever you choose, especially if you’re an Allah follower.
Slay Hells in the Snow aren’t such a lovely sound.
Well……..Here I am surprised that there are any hereditary Germans left in Germany to scold. I thought they were all replaced by the sons of Ham, Ishmael and Esau. Poor Germans. A once proud and fierce people.
…careful with that kraut, Eugene…
Ahhh…so follow the laws and rules of the country you are entering. Seems perfectly logical…
Be a good guest!
A scientist from the French National Centre for Scientific Research was denied entry to the US after immigration officials found text messages that were critical of President Trump which they said “could be considered to be terrorism”.
According to a diplomatic source, the incident occurred on March 9. The unnamed space researcher was reportedly randomly checked upon arrival, during which his work computer and personal phone were searched.
Similarly, messages evoking the treatment of scientists by the Trump administration have reportedly been found. He was allegedly criticized for « messages that translate a hatred towards Trump and can be called terrorism ». His professional and personal equipment was reportedly confiscated and the researcher was returned to Europe on 10 March.
I suspect this wasn’t just “random” and CBP officers had more damning information on him.

De son côté, le Quai d’Orsay rappelle que les États-Unis sont « souverains » en matière d’entrée et de séjour de ressortissants étrangers sur leur territoire et précise que les services consulaires français ont été « informés de cette situation ». Toutefois, il « déplore cette situation » et rappelle sa « volonté de promouvoir la liberté d’expression », ainsi que l’engagement du gouvernement français « pour la coopération universitaire et scientifique ».
For its part, the Quai d’Orsay points out that the United States is “sovereign” over the entry and residence of foreign nationals on its territory, and specifies that French consular services have been “informed of this situation”. However, it “deplores this situation” and reiterates its “desire to promote freedom of expression”, as well as the French government’s commitment “to academic and scientific cooperation”.
*****************************************
Two words I particularly enjoyed in this article, Sovereign, and Deplore; Parfait!
The French government’s “desire to promote freedom of expression” and its “commitment to academic and scientific cooperation,” they say?
Merde de taureau, je dis.

Oh, you’re not supposed to do it in the toilet?
With that much crazy…I wouldn’t want the plumbing bill that comes with the stoppage…
