Original Note:
The travelers did not have a Visa and did not meet the ESTA waiver requirements, so were detained at port of entry. https://beatofhawaii.com/why-these-hawaii-travelers-were-jailed-and-deported/ The German government updated travel guidelines in March to warn about this: https://thehill.com/policy/international/5204549-germany-us-travel-advice/ American travelers to Germany are subject to similar requirements: https://www.etiaseu.com/us-citizens/etias-germany
