One of the names of the names in Formula Drift, Daigo Saito, was recently rejected by entering the United States after trying the country legally to compete. After 10 years of absence from this sport, Saito planned his return to Formula Drift State, but was sent to the home by the United States.
Saito published a summary of the accident on Instagram The page, noting that it is “unable to enter the United States”, saying it “was deported.” You can read the full post below:
Saito says he left his house on June 26, 2025, on a 12 -hour trip to the United States and immediately met her immigration when landing. The authorities took him to a private room before telling the contestant that he was not allowed to enter the country through the current visa program (ESTA).
Saito admits that the error of “not understanding the Esta visa program”, but he says he believes he was covered with competition under his current visa.
Then the Saito authorities on a trip to Amsterdam booked “The Complete Way Way Jed”, he says – after he was shown on his way to the direct trip from Minneapolis to Japan, which was meeting with hostility. He says:
“They largely asked who I think I think I have threatened me, either they will describe me and throw me into prison or silence and continue on the trip to Amsterdam …. they are treated largely as a criminal.”
