Really? What about the checkpoints that are set up within this zone stopping and questioning people without reasonable suspicion or knowledge that person crossed the border at all.

- tptacek 10y agoThe border search exemption applies only to people who have transacted directly with a border. Being 20 miles from a border gives CBP no special powers over ordinary citizens.
- tunap 10y agoCBP routinely stops & questions all north-bound traffic on US 54 >20 miles north-east of El Paso. Am unsure of the distance, but they did request opening my rear hatch(SUV) to facilitate the dog sniffing my parts boxes and tools. Am pretty sure the checkpoints on I-10 in western AZ are >100 miles N of the border, the Tohono O'odham* rez lies between I-10 & the border. * The elders have also stated no wall will be built on their lands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tohono_O%27odham#Border_issues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tohono_O%27odham#Border_issues

- literallycancer 10y agoAre there any cases of people suing the CBP for unlawful restraint? I remember seeing a video a while back where the guy wouldn't get out of the car, and they just broke the windows and took him out anyway.
- desdiv 10y agoNo, it applies to people who the CBP agent reasonably suspect transacted directly with a border. Whether they actually transacted with a border or not is immaterial.
