There's the Greyhound bus raids. Probably happening still.
Does Suda v. U.S. Customs and Border Protection count? Suda was just hanging out in a small town in Montana and speaking Spanish. Martinez-Castro, et al. v. Village of Wakeman, et al. ? Saucedo-Carrillo, et al. v. United States? Jaimes v. Harris, et al.? Moreno v. United States Customs and Border Protection Officer Mario Unate and the United States of America? Hernandez-Carranco v. USA, et al.? Sanchez, et al. v. U.S. Office of Border Patrol, et al ? These are just a few of the ones that make it to the lawsuit stage, you understand.
Would you consider the ACLU complaint? https://cbpabusestest2.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/az-aclu-complaint-15.pdf https://cbpabusestest2.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/az-aclu-c...
> Or for instance, have CBP agents ever busted into someone's home?
Homes are the only thing excluded from this authority but just because it's to hand, Boule v. Egbert et al. The agent got it dismissed in summary judgment, saying the agent was in the wrong but the fourth amendment didn't apply because the house was right next to the border, and if property-owners like that had rights CBP officers might hesitate as they went about their patrols, and let bad guys get way. (They got that reversed on appeal — after two years and the expenses of appeal — and were allowed to proceed with the original suit.)
