What can the people do, @edri@eupolicy.social? If it's against EU law, won't it lose in court?

That deserves far more public scrutiny.
I don't even want to go to the US most people living there don't seem to like it very much
No one should come here the danger cannot be understated. Ice has arrest quotas or they lose their jobs, this entire scheme is to siphon money from the taxpayer by putting people in for profit prisons. They pay like 50k per head, those prisons have rotting food, lack of medical care and fascist assholes beating people and worse. All of this adds up to a lot of incentive to arrest and hold people for as long as possible, probable cause or not. They'll arrest any easy mark and foreigners most of all. Don't come here.
I don't understand why this is even on the table....
The US and the EU are the two largest single markets in the world, just give both entities mutual visa free travel and be done with it.
Come on EU, stop simping for the US!
This is the case now.
US is adding extra requirements to keep the status quo.
Now either EU accepts it (this proposal) or hard line (and consider that US has other ways to access the data of Europeans). Problem is that if the EU decides to not give access, likely on this administration they will stop EU to enter visa free.
Exactly like for the tariffs, EU can either do the same or accept the US citizens visa free.
Typically this would mean require visa for US citizens that means a lot of lost opportunities for everyone (exactly like tariffs)
As s far as I know your already have to get a VISA for the US
No, the vast majority of EU countries are eligible for ESTA that is as close to no visa as it gets in the US
Oh my bad. I thought that ESTA is just like a VISA
Not a visa, just an ESTA.
