How did your situation resolve? Did you sue them?
- ty6853 2y agoThe situation resolved in my passport being flagged, feds executing a fruitless search warrant (thankfully the doctors would not go through with the full cavity search but i am in debt for the warrant), and lawyers telling me I'm SOL. Everytime I go to the border I make sure my affairs are in order to be disappeared. It's good advice for anyone entering the US. Edit: just remembered the time they were enraged they had to let me in so threatened to revoke my passport.
- kennysoona 2y ago> lawyers telling me I'm SOL. Why? On what basis?
- ty6853 2y ago"We've tried litigating these cases before and after always failing we gave up pursuing these kinds of cases" -- in so many words.
- layman51 2y agoI assume it has to do with a federal law that grants immigration agents broad searches and inspections and technically the Fourth Amendment does not fully apply as long as they are within 100 miles of the border or in the functional equivalent of a border (like an airport). The ACLU has a summary page about this.[1] [1]: https://www.aclu.org/documents/constitution-100-mile-border-zone https://www.aclu.org/documents/constitution-100-mile-border-...
- kennysoona 2y agoI wouldn't think that would extend to threats like a cavity search and flagging their passport.
- ty6853 2y agoLady named Cervantes had doctors warrantlessly finger raping her and lost due to jurisdiction fuck fuck games ( i also talked to her lawyer). Happen all the time, CBP lost once iirc in new mexico and letters were sent and thenn promptly ignored. CBP bragged to me about it. They also bragged about flagging trans people claiming their surgical dong was drugs and sending them for exam to fuck with them. It's not just about security, they admitted they fuck with innocent people just for enjoyment. They cannot be stopped as the courts don't really see them as beholden to the Constitution, it's a huge legal hole and the officers have a crystal clear understanding of this. This is also why when they needed an unbeholden army to send to Portland to pick up protesters in unmarked vans, they used CBP. https://holdcbpaccountable.org/2016/08/09/cervantes-v-united-states-et-al/ https://holdcbpaccountable.org/2016/08/09/cervantes-v-united...
- _DeadFred_ 2y agoDude has said on here before that they voluntarily went to Syria to join in the conflict so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- ty6853 2y ago... on the US allied side. The government has known this for 10+ years, if it was illegal I'd have already went to jail. Look up Ashley Cervantes case if you don't believe it can't happen to anybody.
