Summary

U.S. immigration authorities detained Fabian Schmidt, a 34-year-old German national and legal U.S. resident, at Boston Logan Airport on March 7.

He was interrogated, hospitalized, and later transferred to an ICE detention facility in Rhode Island. His family, unaware of any legal issues, has hired a lawyer.

Schmidt had recently traveled to Germany and was returning home to New Hampshire. His case raises concerns amid Trump’s stricter immigration policies.

The German embassy is monitoring the situation but has not disclosed details. ICE has not commented.

    My guess is they trawled his social media and saw he posted something about Palestinians deserving to be treated as humans.

      Yep. Remember folks, they will search your phones. I imagine as the fascist regime grows they will eventually be black-holing any and all dissenters of the rapist felon nazi occupying the whitehouse.
