Following a French scientist being denied entry to the US after immigration officers searched his phone and found messages in which he had expressed criticism of the Trump administration, we’re interested in finding out more about any issues that people have experienced at the US border.
Other reports at the US border include a German national, who is a permanent US resident and was detained by US border officials. A Canadian citizen was also detained by US border authorities for almost two weeks over an incomplete visa.
Whether you, or someone you know has, experienced delays or were detained we’d like to hear from you. Did it happen during the current or previous administrations? What was your experience and how was it resolved? We’re also interested in hearing from anyone who is considering changing their plans to visit the US. If you are thinking of cancelling your trip, why?
