Since almost every time I enter? Last time I entered I was (all without being arrested or charged with a crime) -- forced to strip, cavity searched -- searched by a dog, who found nothing, and agents lamented nothing was found, but they later wrote in their report that the dog alerted. -- tossed in a cell -- fingerprinted / booked (without being arrested/charged). US citizens entering with passport are not supposed to be fingerprinted. -- detained for 16 hours -- Had officials drag me in cuffs to two different hospitals 60 miles apart by prisoner transport van. Taken to second hospital after the first doctor wasn't corrupt enough to go along with their insane claims. -- Had officials lie to doctors suggesting there were drugs up my ass, then being personally billed for medical services I never consented to. I am still in debt for these medical services I refused and were forced on me in custody. -- After being seen without my consent, without an official arrest, or even a court order, was served ex-post-facto a warrant signed by the judge AFTER the time a which I was searched/"cared for." -- forced to perform intimate body functions in full view (like 2 feet in front of me) of agents, who then searched the effects -- Prevented from sleeping, even when doing so presents no interference or risk to anyone. -- Dumped at the border with no apology Here's a comment sharing some of the details last time I went through the border: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32416424#32421655 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32416424#32421655 Here's a segment of my warrant based on perjurious testimony of DHS officials: https://i.imgur.com/ZFPgRFl.png https://i.imgur.com/ZFPgRFl.png (and their perjurious testimony WARNING/NSFW explicit text) : https://i.imgur.com/RXNrYmv.png https://i.imgur.com/RXNrYmv.png Doctors noting literally nothing interesting and that I'm asymptomatic of any problems and "stable for jail": https://i.imgur.com/h6XHm5m.png https://i.imgur.com/h6XHm5m.png And a women sent to the same hospital as me, who was forcefully penetrated in her private orifices at the direction of DHS in circumstances similar to mine: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.azd.985537/gov.uscourts.azd.985537.1.0.pdf https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.azd.985... These detentions are a regular occurrence for me. I'm a US citizen, clean criminal record, never committed a US border related offense. Yes they have also threatened to deny me entry to US and also threatened to revoke my passport as part of their intimidation.

This doesn't sound normal. Your other comment mentions something critical: > I got thrown on something like this almost a decade ago when I fought alongside the YPG, a US backed Kurdish militia that fought against literal ISIS. DHS/CBP put me on some fucked up list and now everytime I re-enter the US I get detained, accused of crimes, tossed in holding cell. So, you're in some kind of a black/gray list possibly caused by involvement in a military conflict. Granted, it sounds absurd they would do this given you were on the US-backed side of the conflict, but still. Your experience is not representative of anything remotely close to what most people go through.

  That's a valid point that my personal circumstances are unusual, but after my latest entry I started digging into the court records and saw far more "normal" citizens also experienced similar circumstances to this particular occasion I mentioned at Nogales port of entry (like Ms Cervantes noted above and below, who appears to have been a normal ~18 year old girl). My black/gray listing put me on the express lane into seeing the dark side of border patrol -- but the sad fact is some "unlucky" normal citizens appear to getting this treatment, and once it happens your eyes are revealed to even the normal people this is happening to (and in fact, while I was there CBP officers bragged about putting other innocents through the same thing, including one for having a trans-sexual appendage) https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.azd.985537/gov.uscourts.azd.985537.1.0.pdf https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.azd.985... I recommend in particular noted pgs 7-9 under the heading "Ashley’s [redacted] Were Probed without a Warrant, Consent or Any Suspicion of Internal Drug Smuggling"
