Which part is not true? It literally says on the .gov page that I linked to that they can:
"board and search for aliens in any vessel within the territorial waters of the United States and any railcar, aircraft, conveyance, or vehicle. 8 CFR 287 (a)(1) defines reasonable distance as 100 air miles from the border"

- mud_dauber 7y agoI returned from a vacation trip to the Brownsville TX area last year, and spent roughly an hour getting through a Border Patrol checkpoint roughly 100 miles north of our departure point on TX route 77. I can assure you that we were interrogated (politely) about our citizenship.
