Don’t tourists know by now that visiting the US in 2025 is like visiting Germany in 1938?
“Mads told Nordlys he tried to explain the images as being harmless and meant as jokes but the immigration authorities ignored his pleas. He claims he was then strip-searched, forced to give blood samples, a facial scan and fingerprints.”
Blood for Memes, incredible
blood samples
I guess the rules changed since 2020:
cbp.gov/…/cbp-meet-legal-requirement-collect-dna-…
CBP is NOT collecting DNA from persons encountered under the following circumstances:
Aliens lawfully in, or being processed for lawful admission into the United States;
Aliens held at a Port of Entry during consideration of admissibility and not subject to further detention or proceedings;
Aliens held in connection with maritime interdiction;
or When the FBI system, NCIC, indicates CODIS already contains a DNA profile for the individual.
Fascists don’t follow any rules except what their Fuehrer says.
As much fun as we’re having sharing and resharing this ridiculous image of a ridiculous person, this is actually a very serious problem.
gee, i hope no one reposts this image. on every platform. every day. from now on.
This poor guy was abused and it speaks terribly about the nature of the U.S. There are so many people willing to beat and abuse other people for no other reason than they are given a green light to do so. It’s pretty disgusting. People are afraid to voice criticism. When I criticize the U.S. it’s because I believed all of the things I was told as a kid that were only partly true, that it’s a great county. When people criticize the U.S. they are holding it to a higher standard, they want it to be better. If you can’t take criticism you’re weak and it shows you don’t want to improve or make corrections.
They will not stop with tourists and immigrants. They’re preparing to crush democratic resistance.
Critique of the dear leader is forbidden. Freedom truly is dead.
Got lucky. Next person they find with one will be sent to the concentration camps.
It’s a movie plot but I wish somehow hackers could inject random anti Trump memes on all phones just to see what happens.
Y’all are making it so easy to keep these fuckin’ elbows up.
President Rapist, Couchfucker Veep.
This is America. It’s pitiable.
Quick! Someone make it a Garbage Pale Kid card. 🤣
Mads Mikkelsen
Did anyone else immediately think of Galen Erso?
In all seriousness this is really scary and I’m glad the guy is ok.
Bro did nothing wrong
Nah. Dude was denied entry because of admitted drug use.
Project much?
You can look up the news story. Border control came out and clarified because of how viral his story became. You can hate the current presidency, but that does not change laws and how they are enforced.
I wish I could send a meme and get deported some days,

If you’re going to the US, backup your data and wipe your phone clean of everything personal. Play dumb, leave Facebook & Instagram installed etc.
Don’t do anything remotely fancy, because these mf-ers are just entitled children with a gun, they own you.
Or visit Europe

There are plenty of beautiful place to see and great people to meet in Europe too, and you can see and meet them all without subjecting yourself to Gestapo-style thuggery upon arrival.

Hoping to visit soon this summer! Not too thrilled with the idea of having to come back home, with all this going on.

I’d ignore Quebec, anywhere else is beautiful.

If you have to go to the US as part of a business trip for work, just resign. It’s safer.
BroBot9000@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
At this point absolutely! Things are only going to escalate. Especially once elections time comes around and the US citizens realize there won’t be another legitimate election.
sndmn@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Or, if at all possible, don’t do business with the US.
