The teens claimed CBP targeted them because they hadn’t booked hotels for their entire stay in Hawaii.

“They found it suspicious that we hadn’t fully booked our accommodations for the entire five weeks in Hawaii,” Pohl said. “We wanted to travel spontaneously. Just like we had done in Thailand and New Zealand.”

    While US doesn’t have the great food

    That’s just ignorant. There’s plenty of absolutely fantastic food in the U.S.

    I have no idea why anyone would visit us now, but if you manage to get past the fascist scum, there are plenty of amazing places to eat.

      They were also going to Hawaii specifically. Now I’m German and have never set foot in any US state but I’d imagine Hawaii as a tropical island group would have its own local cuisine that can’t be half-bad (if you ignore the lack of beer), right?
