Past cannabis-related arrest leads to no food, water, medicine for New Hampshire man - The Pact - Mar 19, 2025
A New Hampshire man with a green card was detained
Born in Germany but holding a green car a man was arrested and denied food, water and medicine at a Boston airport on his return from Germany and his family had no clue why he is being held by ICE. Later it turned out it was for an old cannabis possession charge that had been dropped when the laws changed in New Hampshire.
The 34-year-old electrical engineer has held a green card since 2008 and renewed it last year, according to his mother, Astrid Senior, who also lives in the U.S. on a green card.

Certainly! Here's a rewritten version of the text:
Immigration authorities in New Hampshire detained a German immigrant and Green Card holder after discovering a past cannabis-related arrest, which had been dismissed due to legal changes. Concerns arise for others with similar histories, as non-citizens may face detainment, denial of essentials like food, water, or medicine, and degrading treatment.
Astrid Senior, the man's mother, recounted the ordeal. "His Green Card was flagged," she stated, alleging her son endured abuse at the hands of immigration officials. She claimed he was "violently interrogated," forcibly stripped, and subjected to a cold shower. "He was given minimal water, felt unwell, and eventually collapsed," she added. Despite having his Green Card legally reissued in 2023 after it was reported lost, it was flagged during his attempt to reenter the U.S.
Elsewhere, Canadian actor Jasmine Mooney was detained for nearly two weeks under harsh conditions due to an incomplete visa. According to her mother, she was held in a single concrete cell without natural light, subjected to constant fluorescent lighting, and deprived of blankets or adequate bathroom facilities.
Similarly, British citizen Rebecca Burke faced "horrendous conditions" during her three-week detention following a visa mix-up. After being sent back to the U.S. from the Canadian border, she was accused of needing a working visa instead of the tourist visa she had for a planned stay with a host family in Canada, where she intended to trade house cleaning for lodging.

I'm sure this type of situation happens all the time and has for many years. The current political climate is the only reason you hear about it now.
Once you're detained, the nightmare begins. It's not their priority to ensure that the problem is resolved in a quick and expedited manner. They don't give a crap at all.
As for being denied some basic necessities...that's what happens when you get locked up. You don't get to just do as you please and eat when you want. A detention cell is not a home, expect no comforts. Sit and endure it like a man.

This is a real tragedy, feel bad for the guy. Just goes to show how absolutely corrupt the country is. Especially the current administration.
A real waste of tax payers money.

He was flagged at the airport as someone who once did a crime ten years prior [Police found cannabis in his car and the charges were dismissed by the judge without sentencing I can only guess because the amount of cannabis found was very small? But because he was a permanent resident and not a citizen and had a criminal record he got flagged at the airport.

It is unconstitutional because the Eighth Amendment, addresses humane conditions in prisons and jails by prohibiting "cruel and unusual punishments." So, they are supposed to be given water at least and are not supposed to be subjected to inhumane treatment, including inadequate medical care, and he was denied his regular medicines, which can cause withdrawal etc... and he had not committed any recent crime they were just checking him out as a green card holder returning from a seven day family visit Courts have ruled that jail and prison conditions must meet basic standards of human dignity or it can be a violation of constitutional rights.
The Fourteenth Amendment ensures due process and equal protection under the law. So, Constitutionalists would not be OK with it.

No, I used Google for some things.
And my father was an expert in human rights law and was an American he was an expert on human rights law and international law working in those fields in both the USA and the country we moved to, so I just had to look up a few things. And when I say "expert" I mean lawyer and law professor. And your next question will be why I say was. 🙄 He has Alzheimer's now. 🙄
Read it again it doesn't sound Ai generated, come on.
When I do use Ai I use other chatbots anyway. My favourite is Grok, but I did not use Grok for my answer. So much for my EDS or MDS I just love Grok regardless.
It's my understanding that ChatGPT would not be able to answer anything about Fabian Schmidt as it has a cut off date from three years ago or some sh**. Don't know why it's all the majority use.
I already told you I have a master's degree with honours, so you can stop wondering how I can form sentences any time now. I do worry about students in college now who may be falsely accused of turning in Ai essays if they do a bit better than usual assignment etc.... scary stuff. But I finished my post grad degree when I was twenty two in the 1990s.

I'm not certain that an Airport Detention Room is anything more than a bench to sit on in a small room. It's certainly not a legitimate facility to hold and detain for a long period of time. It's not going to be 3 hots and a cot like a county jail or prison institution.
'There is no specific legal limit to how long you can be detained at the airport, as it depends on the resolution of the issues at hand' Not very informative on this subject, but I'm sure someone is not going to be held for longer than a 72HR period. Is there video recording of this person being detained and not being granted access to water? Footage doesn't lie. If someone is claiming that they are being held without water which is a basic necessity then that should be investigated. If this is the detainee's first person account of what happened then that should also be scrutinized because there is always more than one side to a story.

The only information I could Google up came from his mother and his lawyer. lol But he ended up in hospital as it progressed to a medical emergency. It appears he still hasn't been released he went to hospital and then was returned to authorities. It is hard to get much more information on this case online though. I'm unsure if he was ever taken to a jail or stayed detained at the airport, but the Constitution still guarantees human rights to people detained. It certainly seems like it's been longer than 72 hours, but yes can't get any more info that I have from any of these online articles.
