U.S. border officials are using more aggressive tactics at ports of entry as the Trump administration scrutinizes legal immigrants who have expressed opposition to its policies. It has prompted American allies to update their travel advisories.

It’s only a matter of time before they start scrutinizing the cell phones and computers of citizens. There’s a reason private prison stocks are soaring.
They’ve been doing that for the past 10 years !! Checking phones for illegal apps.. why do you think that apple created a side swipe on iPhones where it reveals all hidden apps..
Well there goes the tourist trade..
What comrade donald has done in America is considered unacceptable in any European country..
Except in Hungary...
You'd have a job finding anybody not at least a little peeved at this unbelievable American/Russian axis...
What next?
Lie detectors at passport desk?
American allies? Russia and North Korea?
Or do you mean former allies who are appalled and terrified by the unfolding collapse into a chaotic, malignant dictatorship headed by a dementia addled, corrupt, sociopath?
Join the fight for democracy! 🗳️ On Saturday, April 5, 2025, stand up against corruption and reclaim our voice. Join nation-wide protests & sit-ins in all 50 states. Let's make a difference together!
As an Australian who thought the US was a friend I will not be visiting under threat of my phone being searched with no probable cause but that I wrote this comment. US is no longer a beacon of democracy.
If Trump is ok with harming the hotel/tourism industry causing more unemployment (was 3.8 with Biden, now is 4.4 in one trimester, 0.6% increase) let him. Nothing breaks the spell of maga better than being jobless, homeless, starving.

send those who
displease him,
to a dungeon
in El Savador
run by his dictator
buddy, Ortez.
Prisoners are in a
black box w/o

not unlike,
when you think about it,
The Tower of London.
We had a family cruise booked for 8 of us in 2026, we cancelled. We cruise yearly out of Ft. Lauderdale, always tagging on a few days before/after. We love NY, love LA. No more and it has nothing to do with our shitty dollar. We will continue to explore our beautiful country.
Don't even think about visiting the USA. Immigration control was always a shit experience even when travelling there on business. Now Trump's goons can lock you and your holidaying kids up and expel you on a whim.
So if I say FU to Donald Trump and JD Vance, I won’t be able to enter the United States anymore during those four next years? Well.. FU Donald Trump and FU JD Vance. 😎
Pretty soon we’ll be a police state. First, discourage & prevent outside visitors. Second, expel undesirables. Third, prevent people with needed skills from leaving.
It’s how long term illegal immigrants arrive from 1st world countries - but it’s also where struggling businesses get most of their cheap Labour from.. farmers now have to pay above minimum wage which means people pay more at the checkout
If you check European's phones you will be 90 percent sure that you will find material critical of Trump. The remaining 10 percent probably wiped their phone before entering.
What is wrong with you Americans???
Look what people do in Ankara/Istambul… revolting and taking the streets as a protest against Erdogan.
What more does America need to take down the Trump fascist regime???
Get yer yaya’s out✊🏻✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿✊
Why do you report like this? The president of the United States is directly punishing legal citizens at an illegal location. You should be much more outraged. Your type of reporting is exactly why we’re in this mess. Report plainly and call out fascism
