Huffpost reports that members of the “security detail” of Turkey’s President Erdogan who took part in the beating of protesters in Washington, DC last month have been warned by Germany not to attend the G20 summit next week. As the report states:
“Some foreign security services of the Turkish delegation did not abide by the law and therefore those people are not welcome in Germany for the foreseeable future,” Germany’s foreign ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer said Monday, according to CNN.
The Federal Criminal Police Office of Germany told Die Welt that foreign powers do not hold sovereign powers; they “only have the right to self-defense.” Hamburg Sen. Andy Grote said to the paper that “on our streets, only the Hamburg police have a say and no one else. This includes foreign security forces.”

Hear! Hear! Now if our own authorities could show the same moxie.
And I have to wonder, should those gangsters dare to attend, if they could be arrested and held for deportation to the US under the arrest warrants issued a few weeks ago.
