What is the sensationalist crap? They admitted they intended to work, probably talked too fucking much. I mean for chrissakes they even told the reporter they intend to work in another foreign country soon.

What does working in a different country have to do with the US? They said they didn't want to work in the US and that CBP falsified their testimony. As they themselves admitted it was just naiv to believe germans were excempt from the administrations pullshit.

I mean, assuming any of that is true,; fine. Deny them entry and send them back home. Why are they strip searching then and throwing them behind bars?
