Another reason that non US citizens should not travel to America. It is getting scary with America's Gestapo!

It’s bad enough for citizens. Please do not spend your money coming to the USA for vacay.

In January, a man returning to the United States from Nicaragua landed at Miami International Airport, made it through customs and waited for his luggage at baggage claim. By the time he left the airport, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials had revoked his Global Entry status. In April, a social-media travel-content creator was also detained at MIA for hours as officers looked through her social media accounts and asked about her father’s immigration status. And just weeks ago, a Miami intensive-care nurse who travels to and from Cuba often said he was stopped by Customs to have his bags checked — along with everyone else on his flight.

What they all have in common: They’re American citizens, and their recent experiences with Customs at South Florida airports have left them perplexed and concerned. While it’s not new or illegal for Customs officers to detain and question U.S. citizens when they re-enter the country, there appears to be a surge in reports of citizens being detained at airports and asked to give officers access to their phones and social media accounts under President Donald Trump’s second administration, stoking fears among travelers.

1. Please pass this around foreign countries for the sake and safety of anyone thinking of coming to the USA.

Club World Cup? Stay home.

Gold Cup? Stay home

World Cup 2026? Stay home.

Olympic Games 2028? Stay home.

Family vacay? Stay home.

It is not safe to travel to America under Trump. Vacation elsewhere for the safety of you and your family!

2. None of my family internationally nor friends outside of US have any desire to visit the US

These are people in Germany, Denmark and Spain

They travel often over the years to US for vacations - not anymore. Many also canceled plans they made for this summer and flat out say they will not make plans to come in future as long as Trump is in control and the events that are going on continue.

This includes for World Cup and Olympics - events that they have attended over the decades and had plans to attend but are now saying they will not do.

3. Personal story - I was traveling WITHIN the USA from Philly to Orlando last week.

I was at the gate. We had gone through TSA. We were awaiting our plane and NINE TSA showed up to search every bag as people boarded the plane. Never seen that before in my life. Again, we had already gone through security but we were searched a second time. So, yes, it is dangerous to travel right now. You could be detained by the Taco Gestapo at any time!
