Poslechněte si podcast: Czechia in 30 minutes: Are U.S. Border controls tougher? Czech stories suggest otherwise
In the weekend edition of Czechia in 30 minutes, we explore the story of a Czech clarinetist, recently deported from the U.S. for lacking proper work documents. His case made headlines, but Czech musicians, journalists, and even politicians have faced similar problems for years. This episode investigates whether U.S. border checks really got stricter—or whether Czechs are simply failing to understand long-standing rules.
