Which is 100 miles deep and includes many major cities.
- AnthonyMouse 6y agoYou're underselling that one, because they count the coastline as a "border": https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-14/mapping-who-lives-in-border-patrol-s-100-mile-zone https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-14/mapping-w... > the border zone is home to 65.3 percent of the entire U.S. population

- refurb 6y agoWell of course they can, it’s just legal. And odd example to pick since it seems like he was a suspect in smuggling? That alone is enough to detain anyone.
