This is false. It's an old fundraising claim used by the ACLU; they have since set up pages backing away from it (because convincing people in the US that they don't have rights they do in fact have is not good civil liberties advocacy). There's direct SCOTUS precedent on this.
There's a 100 air mile border definition that's material to immigration enforcement (with complicated limitations). It does not determine where searches under the border search exception can occur.
- LocalH 6mo agoCongress's own website with a map showing the exception area seems to indicate that nearly the entire state of Hawaiʻi is within the exception zone.
- tptacek 6mo ago"The exception zone" is a myth.
- LocalH 6mo agoTell that to the US Government: https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R46601 https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R46601
- tptacek 6mo agoNobody disputes that border searches are constitutional at the functional equivalents of the border; if you fly in from Canada and land in Tulsa, Tulsa includes a de jure international border. The dispute (it's not really a dispute, there's a line of SCOTUS precedent explicitly about this question) is whether a 25-100 mile zone extends outwards the airport customs gates. No.
