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.”

    Oh no! This dastardly Europeans wanted to come here and work! How dare they! Deport them!

    This country was cooked a long time ago.

      From another story about the event, it wasn’t even like odd jobs for a host, it was small job remote work for people in Germany and Asia. Stuff they would be doing at home and just kept doing during downtime on a long vacation.

      Don’t reply to any business emails while lounging by the pool, you need a work visa for that!

        This is a much, much better article. I’m surprised at the NYPost’s shoddy quality (though I don’t know much about them); the headline especially feels misleading. Thanks for sharing a better source.

          The NYPost is a crappy conservative tabloid. I don’t know why people keep posting stories from it.
