The Left, without fail, spreads lies and false narratives to the point where people just start ignoring them. They did it with racism and various 'phobias' (trans-, homo-, Isalmo-), and rendered those words utterly meaningless.
Now they've got their sites set on finding stories of the big, bad, mean Trump administration randomly deporting innocent people.
Because Orange Man Bad.
Or something.
Except -- just like with the race card -- they push stories without vetting them, so they get humiliated.
The New York Post shared this story:
German teens traveling to US jailed and booted after loosely planned vacation deemed 'suspicious' https://t.co/hbqgEELbBo pic.twitter.com/QeJNCrxvAS

Two German teenagers planning to explore the US on vacation were thrown in jail and then booted from the country after Customs and Border Protection found their loosely planned trip 'suspicious.'
Charlotte Pohl, 19, and Maria Lepere, 18, arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii, on March 18, with plans to travel around the islands for five weeks before heading to California and then Costa Rica after their high school graduation, according to the German outlet Ostsee Zeitung.
However, the teens made the mistake of not booking their accommodations for the entire duration of their stay in Hawaii, which raised a red flag for US Customs and Border Protection, despite both of them having obtained an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).
You'll be not shocked to learn this is a lie.
The New York Post, for whatever reason, deleted the original post Homeland Security quoted, but it was similar to the one we posted above:
Another false narrative. These travelers weren’t deported—they were denied entry after attempting to enter the U.S. under false pretenses.

The post reads:
One used a Visitor visa, the other the Visa Waiver Program. Both claimed they were touring California but later admitted they intended to work—something strictly prohibited under U.S. immigration laws for these visas.
After decades of not enforcing immigration law, enforcing immigration law looks like tyranny.
I saw this posted like a thousand times by democrats saying Trump was just deporting anyone for anything.

The media want a bad immigration story soooooo bad and they can’t find one, so they make one up!!!
Just like with abortion, where they make up stories about women getting arrested for miscarriages.
Or on gun violence, where they fudge the numbers to make it look like 20-year-olds are 'kids' to so they can say guns are the number one cause of death for kids (they're not).
I sure hope every person denied entry for a funky visa is not going to be a news story now. It would be 24/7 hysterics.

The hysterics are the point.
How is this any different than a businessman from another country coming to a trade show and responding to emails, taking meetings, etc remotely?

You get a visa that allows you to work.

They sure did.
And check out their new headline:

Something more like the truth.
They didn't have a hotel address. You can't show up post-9/11 without a solid hotel/house booking. That's why they were detained.

Travelers have an obligation to know what the rules of their visas require and plan accordingly.

It got bitten by reality.
Let’s see how many Democrats rush to defend these white girls from Germany. https://t.co/kEwMLluE5R

That'll be interesting, no?
This is basic visa enforcement that every country on earth does.

It's not about the law. It's about the narrative, and making the Trump administration look bad for enforcing the law.
