Not true.
The 100 mile limit is from and “external boundary.” Within 25 miles of an external boundary, CBP has additional powers.
That 25 mile radius from an international airport is just made up. Border Patrol doesn’t have any power in Kansas City for instance, despite them having an international airport.
CBP’s authority within these border zones only covers immigration law and certain federal crimes.
