seems weird
were all the hawaiian judges at the beach?
Two teenage girls from Germany were detained, arrested, and deported at an airport in Hawaii after immigration officials said it was suspicious they had not booked a hotel room.
Taint full truth until Paul Harvey chimes in.
Jails should be fun, inviting, and safe. A place that is welcoming and comfortable.
I wonder what kind of “work” the young ladies were suspected of planning to perform?
Eighteen and nineteen, so they’re “teenage girls”. Technically true, but the age of majority is 18 in Germany. I guess they wouldn’t get as much sympathy if the story referred to them as adult women.
This is likely a result of what other euro kids do - they travel and stay in private homes in exchange for basic chores like pet sitting, etc.. No money changes hands.
Nevertheless, this is considered "work" and requires a work permit.
So, not booking a hotel means, they are likely doing this as they are apparently not staying with a friend or relative.
Being Hawaii, they probably could've gotten away w/saying they were planning on sleeping on the beach w/the other homeless there.
Call me dubious on that claim. The low in Hawiii the past two weeks has been in the 70’s. Maybe the AC was too much for them?
i am guessing you have never backpacked in your life.
CBP ducked up again
Sounds like propaganda.
WHAT “”FREEZING CELL”” IN HAWAII????
“...were forced to spend the night in a freezing cold double cell.”
I trust them more than the governmnt.
These are not what we think of as “teen girls”-at 18 and 19, these are young adult women, both here and in their native Germany. I think it requires a work permit to have even a temp job in the USA unless you live here...
This story is BS, guaranteed.
I’ve noticed that the National Parks are FAR LESS BUSY this year.
“Somehow I think there is more to the story than what two teenage girls say.”
Perhaps the fact that they only had $75 between them and no credit cards raised a bit of suspicion*
*no idea if it’s true, but that’s what would typically get one rejected from entry here if it’s going to be a long-term stay.
