We are traveling to Hawaii for our wedding soon and then stopping in Vancouver, CA on the way back for a few days. I was telling my partner it might be best if we delete all social media off of our phones. We have Global Entry, but it sounds like that is no longer going to keep you safe from the pigs.

I may have read them in a recent DU link.
One that comes to mind immediately is the use of a public vs private social history/account, use of public phones that can be handed over if needs be.
I know an immediate thought is that we shouldn't "have to" even be thinking about how to protect ourselves against our own Gov.
But this is not Nixon's Gov., not the Viet Nam war protest era.

Compliance with the demands of a bully only encourages worse. The more of us resist, the harder it is to pick us off one by one. Those who fail to exercise their rights lose them.

...she deleted all social media apps from her phone before arriving in the US.

It's easy to reinstall them.

Mobile Passport Control and was through Customs in 5 minutes. No questions were asked and no request to look at phone.

and only put the bare minimum on it

Get a burner for a bunch of reasons.

pitch it or set it aside for your next trip, and in the meantime, your real phone is safe at home.

I’m going to Santa Marta, Colombia in September. I was thinking of doing that because I don’t want my experience iPhone stolen while I’m there. This adds another reason to do this.

I’ve heard many people recommend this

I really, really wonder how visitors from all over the world are going to be treated.

From a weird and deranged clown.

But it's soccer, so who knows...

that sends a message to the fans that they should, too.

Sure there will be people travelling to the US for it, but nowhere near the scale of people trying to come next year for the full World Cup. It is still a legitimate concern as to whether anything will happen.

and what the difference was between the games in 2025 and 2026.

2026 FIFA is Country Championship
Country is the more popular, because it's the original tournament.
Players are playing for their national honor & pride.

they will move World Cup

Not a sports fan, but thought I read FIFA was considering Canada, Europe Australia or New Zealand in lieu of the U.S. because of what the u.s. customs and immigration offices are doing to travellers.

And move it elsewhere or just not do it until the next one.

And was worried after hearing all these reports. I was at the back of the line and saw nearly everyone go through. They were polite, thorough, and I saw no issues for anyone. I’ve had good relations there before with international travel.

I hope Florida is a blip in the system. But I fear it is not.

My Dutch relatives want to come here. I advised them not to come for a few years until we sort out our $hite.

Both US citizens born in USA with global entry, but brown. They and their bags were carefully inspected by hand after landing as if they would bring anything sketchy into the US.

US bound international flights get extra screening at the origin and again at any layover airport in between, in case anyone here didn't know. So searching someone again upon landing in the US is pure intimidation and harassment, nothing to do with security.

The donald would prefer to have us “scared silent”. That way, there’s nobody IN the way to prevent him from doing whatever he wants.

We're there.
