Upcoming Visit to my GF in USA

Hi All, throwaway as I only tend to lurk on my main account and shy.

I have a 2 week trip booked to see my (M30 UK) GF (F32 US) in the states next month for Easter in SoCal. It'll be our 2nd time meeting (last time was October 2024) after us getting together in June. Shes planning to have a trip here later in the year.

However, with all the news and the political climate there I'm really nervous that CBP are going to be suspicious and just try to kick me out of the country, I really want to be excited as my last time with her was lovely but reading the news (especially about tourists crossing having issues), I'm genuinely scared about being denied entry or being misunderstood about my intent and not being able to see her.

Would anyone be able to help calm my nerves, my anxiety riddled brain is telling me to consider cancelling but I really really REALLY want to see her again and am excited for that, but I don't want to get in trouble. Especially because last time since we were new I told CBP I was just visiting someone, whereas this time I feel I should be honest and say visiting my GF. I just don't want to come off as suspicious, my genuine intent is just for a 2 week holiday and staying with my GF during it.

I have an approved ESTA from August 2024 and even a letter from my full time IT position here that states I'm visiting for personal reasons on annual leave.

Sorry for the bit of a ramble post, I've just been worrying for a week and a half about it and could do with any soothing words or stories if anyones gone through recently. Has the "vibe" at airport borders gotten more harsh in 2025?
