I'm pretty sure the 100 miles only really applies to the border and the coast and not internal ports of entries. It's still a travesty.

Shame you’ve been downvoted. According to the ACLU, you’re correct: https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/border-zone https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/border-zone

  Out of curiosity I tried to find where in the US _wouldn't_ be considered a border zone if that was the case. Looks like the largest strip is from Death Valley to Idaho - when you get further north there are too many regional airports with the occasional flight to Canada, or you run into the actual "border zone." The real trick is to find the furthest East point, which I think might (?) exist near Elkins, WV? Fingers crossed I'll nerd snipe someone here into finding it.

    And here's the 100-mile zone... https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/alliancesandiego/pages/2887/attachments/original/1583965474/NBV_Border_Map.jpg https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/alliancesandiego/pages... Non-coastal cities that fall within the zone where I wouldn't really expect a border check (ignoring the big cities Houston)... Charlottesville, VA Sacramento, CA Portland, OR Madison, WI Syracuse, NY

      How big a fraction of the US population are we talking about here?

        About 2/3 is what I’ve seen.

Ah, I misread (but can't edit any more)... lots of online content describing CBP/ICE operations near major international airports, which I took to mean those airports were considered borders that start a "new" 100 mile zone. That's incorrect (per the ACLU post in the sibling comment) - it just happens that many major airports are within the 100 mile zone, so CBP/ICE can run operations there (beyond what they might run at an airport well inside the heartland).
