Since President Trump took office, there have been other incidents of tourists like Lucas Sielaff being stopped at U.S. border crossings and held for weeks .

U.N. authorities did not respond to a request from The Associated Press for figures on how many tourists have recently been held at detention facilities or explain why they weren’t simply denied entry.

Fiancée Lucas Sielaff and fiancée Ashley Paschen were stopped at the U.S.-Canada border.

They were stopped 22 days into their 90-day tourist permit.

Pischen says she learned about Brösche from a TikTok video asking anyone in the San Diego area for help after her family learned she was being held at a detention facility.
