Many EU countries have done the same in recent weeks. This is less about putting diplomatic pressure, and more about warning people to avoid traveling to the US due to real danger.


Nope, all those warnings were basically "make sure your paperwork/visa is in order" and "gender on passport has to be the one assigned on birth"


There is no real danger so this is mostly diplomatic pressure.


German and another Europeans were detained by ICE and ended up spending weeks in solitary confinement, past their plane back.


The US government has already been rounding people up who haven’t committed a crime. Most notably a student from Columbia college. This is a real danger.


They've also been shipping people off to a prison in El Salvador without due process and, according to them, no way to bring them back if they send the wrong person.

Avoiding travel to the US right now is a perfectly reasonable decision.


Have you ever experienced being detained by CBP?


No I haven't because the odds of it happening to an ordinary person are a rounding error, now and at any other point in time.


Nobody wants to be that rounding error.
