The border situation is very difficult. (If you do have "numerous examples" of that, please let me know, because it's relevant to our writing and legal analysis. I care a lot about this, but I don't want anyone to get the wrong intuition about how frequent or infrequent a particular scenario or, as the lawyers say, fact pattern is. Maybe in the second case you're thinking specifically of Laura Poitras's experiences, or do you have some other cases in mind?)
I also agree that some border and immigration challenges are lost in court and that it's a legally difficult context in which to defend individual rights, and I was responding to the article's claim that the only court-recognized limit is "excessive force", which is unnecessarily pessimistic.
