In this video, I discuss the case of Julian Pennant, a German tourist to Mexico who was arrested and detained in an immigration detention facility in Cancun for six days for having an expired tourist card (FMM).

After he was sent back to Germany, he released a video talking about his experience.

That video has since gone viral and has placed a spotlight on Mexico's immigration policies and practices that directly affect tourists.
