On November 5, the Chinese Consulate General in L.A. issued a reminder thatChinese citizens are kindly requested to choose to enter from Honolulu International Airport.
In recent years, many Chinese citizens who had entered the country from Honolulu International Airport had been disturbed by unprovoked checks by United States border law enforcement officials and had been deported with the cancellation of visas, during which time electronic equipment had been searched, personal freedom had been restricted for long periods, contact with the outside world had been restricted and pending transfer to the Honolulu Federal Detention Centre.
The Chinese Consulate-General in Los Angeles attaches great importance to the protection of the security and legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens and has made several serious and serious representations to the United States in this regard. In view of the risk of harassment and arbitrary detention at the port of Honolulu International Airport for Chinese citizens who have entered the country legally, the Consulate-General reminds the citizens of the United States and China of their prudent choice to enter from the airport. At the same time, detailed information on United States entry requirements is provided in advance and preparations are made. If United States border law enforcement officials conduct an inspection and respond with a calm and rational response, they may request the assistance of an interpreter if they do not understand the problems of border law enforcement officials, avoid being induced, and contact the Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles for assistance.
