Why are Germans being detained by US immigration?

ICE detained four German nationals, including Green Card holder Fabian Schmidt, in the US, raising alarm over aggressive immigration checks. Detainees faced unpredictable interrogations, held without clear charges, despite having valid travel documents. Berlin advised caution for German travelers to the US, as visa or entry waivers don’t guarantee access, reflecting rising immigration crackdown.
