Aussies get a travel warning of one word that should annoy everyone who goes to the US

Australian tourists have been warned that they can now be deported from the US on ‘subjective’ lands, such as the Trump Administration assumes a hardline attitude when securing American boundaries.

The Californian immigration lawyer Andrea Szew published the warning after a wave of Aussies who complained that they had been sent back home, even though there was no clear reason to refuse them.

Last week, former NSW Police officer Nikki Saroukos, 25, told Daily Mail Australia that she was being held, stripped and held at night Hawaii for ‘having too much baggage’.

Mrs. Szew said that tourists can expect to be subjected to increased control at American boundaries and a higher risk to turn around.

She said that border agents can choose who they will hold on the basis of their ‘subjective’ suspicions.

“Sounds terrible that someone’s subjective opinion can be so powerful to send me back to a flight all the way back to Australia, but unfortunately it is a subjective decision,” Mrs. Szew told Nine News on Wednesday.

She said that travelers could be searched by the strip and were not entitled to privacy on their devices such as laptops and telephones, including social media accounts.

“They can look at whose message you liked, they can watch the friends’ friends in which you are tagged, they can look at everything,” said Mrs. Szew.

She said that some border officials were authorized by Trump’s hard attitude on securing the boundaries and even blocking that on tourist visa.

Australians can minimize their chances of a negative experience on the border by never booking a one -way ticket, having their travel route printed and printing on their person and filling in the visa application.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trading has updated their travel advice on the US, and says that access requirements are ‘strict’.

Mrs. Saroukos revealed how she was held by American border officials after the landing in Honolulu in Hawaii on Sunday.

The 25-year-old thought it would be a routine visit to see her husband stationed as an American army lieutenant on the Pacific Island and the US state since August 2023.

Mrs. Saroukos said she was not given a reason for her detention, further than the fact that border officials did not believe her story because she had packed more clothing than was necessary for a three -week stay.

“We have undergone customs and border protection, as usual, and we were stopped to check our passports,” she said.

‘I am an ex-police officer and he took a bit and checked things on the computer. My mother started asking, such as: “Oh, is there a problem? “And asked if he needed more information.

“He went from super calm, very nice, even give my mother a compliment, just to turn immediately.”

The attitude of the officer was Only the start of a two -day episode In which she was fascinated, frog through the airport, sought the cavity and locked up at night.

“I was abroad. I had no idea what my rights were. I was terrified, “said Mrs. Saroukos.

“I thought I would never come out of that facility.”

“Because of all the horror stories I heard from other travelers traveling through the United States, I kept asking the officers if I was safe in that facility, because I felt that they were endangering my life because I was housed with criminals.”
