[Soft Paywall] Teen Girls Arrested and Deported While Backpacking in Hawaii

”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.

Backpackers Charlotte Pohl, 19, and Maria Lepere, 18, arrived in Honolulu from Auckland while undergoing a around-the-world trip. The duo planned to spend five weeks in Hawaii before moving onto California and Costa Rica for the next legs of their journey.

But despite having ESTA travel authorization, immigration officials accused them of attempting to enter the U.S. to work illegally, and they were placed in handcuffs and takent to a nearby detention center they later learned was a deportation facility.

Upon arrival, they were subjected to full-body scans, strip searches and forced to wear green prison jumpsuits, German outlet Ostee Zeitung reports. They were then placed in a holding facility with serious criminals, including an alleged murderer who had been locked up for 18 years, and were forced to spend the night in a freezing cold double cell.

After a sleepless night in the freezing cell, the girls were woken early and escorted back to the airport in handcuffs. Upon arrival, they were forced to board a Hawaiian Airlines flight to Tokyo and were told they would receive their passports back once they arrived in Japan.

Included in their travel documents were interrogation transcripts signed by the girls, which “contained sentences we didn’t actually say,” said Charlotte after the ordeal. “They twisted it to make it seem as if we admitted that we wanted to work illegally in the US.”

│ Trump has already said he's going to ignore them.

[Twitter] Trump says his mandate lets him ignore the Supreme Court for an issue he made worse after firing 30 immigration judges.

Above the fray.
If you have to use a law from 1798 that likely has zero relevance to today's situation then you're clearly bullshytting and throwing shyt against the wall to see what sticks.
Yep
If it was really about securing the borders and enforcing existing laws about entry, they could have deported people in an orderly manner.

The "show of force" shyt was to appease MAGA voters and to distract them from the admin slowly wrecking the economy.


The LBJ line comes to mind, and it can be paraphrased

"If you can convince the lowest (blank) he's better than (blank) he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you


Trump is governing by executive order and applying obscure arcane laws.

Immigration court arrests are likely going to continue this week, with dozens of people around the country each day who were doing exactly what the government asked being arrested and thrown in detention and stripped of their right to a hearing because ICE wants to juice the numbers.

A Bronx high schooler showed up for a routine immigration court date. ICE was waiting.

How is this protecting the border, going after these law-abiding residents?

Remember how they said they just wanted immigrants to do it “the right way”. Well now they are detaining and deporting people doing just that. Doesn’t exactly incentivize people to follow the process when that’s where it leads.

So either ICE are incompetent and lazy, or there aren’t enough “illegals” to deport. Or both.

PS Asylum seekers are “legals” who are following the law.

If they arrest them before the hearing, then the immigrant hasn't appeared as required, thereby removing their legal status, which would require them to be arrested.

NKVD, KGB, Gestapo, ICE - they all were driven by the need to get the numbers of arrests up.

The beauty of it is that when people don’t show up for hearings, they can be declared illegal and subject to snatching off the street. It’s a win-win for evil.

Because he doesn't like immigrants. This is not news to anyone who has heard Trump over the decades. He was at a congressional hearing in the 80s or 90s... and he was arguing against Indian casinos saying racist things then too.

THREAD. A lot of attention is rightly going to Medicaid cuts and other very bad things in Trump's bill passed by the House, but there's something else that isn't getting enough attention, that is very difficult to find in any news coverage, but that will fundamentally alter life for all of us.

Trump and Miller want to see those arrest skyrocket-they MUST make good on those boastful promises made during Trumps 2nd campaign. So, they’ll arrest even the law abiding ppl who are doing everything by the book!

Trump & Miller rigged the system-they get arrested either way...no reason required! 😡

Time for judges to start holding these hearings via Zoom and shyt.


│ Commented on Tue May 27 16:00:56 2025 UTC

│ Exactly. People don’t realize that they can actually call the court clerk and ask if it’s ok to hold the hearing online, and explain the reason why. The worst they can say is no, but I work for a law firm, and I’ve asked a few times for our clients and they always said yes, or were agreeable to changing dates due to our clients being out of town, etc.
