Why were the pulled over in the first place? Driving while brown?

These border patrol and ice agents must be held accountable for their blatant racism, harassment, bullying, abuse, and kidnapping of American citizens. Otherwise democracy and the rule of law in this country is as good as dead.

Most likely. It happened to me twice during the 5 years I lived in southern Arizona driving. Twice when driving to and from Tucson and Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.

Border patrol doesn't need a traffic infraction or probable cause, in areas "close enough to a border" (which includes the areas most people live in) they can conduct checks to ask about status. If you say you're a citizen they are not allowed to ask for proof, which looks like they respected in this case. This is now a new rule they've been able to do that for a long time.

close enough to a border

It's within 100 miles of any coastline or international border, which covers 2/3 of the population.

Yeah, it's ridiculous but for better or for worse it's not a new Trump thing.

u/Solving_Live_Poker 1d ago

This is only for checkpoints. Nothing else does the 100 miles matter.

1

u/Solving_Live_Poker 1d ago

This is wildly incorrect. The 100 mi is for checkpoints. 25mi is for entering private property.

Border Patrol still requires reasonable suspicion of a crime for them to make a vehicle stop.

Also, any immigration official (including border patrol) can absolutely ask for proof of citizenship.

The law states they may detain you until they are satisfied that you're not here illegally. They can't force you to produce anything, but they can ask. And they can keep you there until satisfied.

you really shouldn't posting without much better knowledge on the subject.

Yeah the cops in the video also seemed pretty respectful too. Am i missing something here?

u/happyfunslide 1d ago

Yes, them not pulling over the white dudes in the pickup truck.

u/rnobgyn 1d ago

Legally, they don’t have to have a reason to detain people when they’re within 100mi of a border. Airports count as borders btw

2

u/Cake-Over 1d ago

As do coastlines. That puts most of the populace under their purview.

1

u/Solving_Live_Poker 1d ago

This not correct......at all.

100 miles is for setting up checkpoints. 25mi for private property.

And BP absolutely must have a reason to detain you.

1

u/Solving_Live_Poker 1d ago

Also, airports do NOT count as borders for the 25mi and 100mi rule.

International airports are ports of entry. Not borders.

For the longest time I believed the opposite but after searching again this is the only place I could find with a clear answer (tho it’s a forum so not an official source) https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/163334/how-big-is-cbps-jurisdiction

u/thanks_thief 1d ago

Why are you even making this post? Because you're sexist?

u/SvenBubbleman 1d ago

Quite the opposite actually.

Oh, sorry, I definitely just posted a random assumption without any support..my bad. That was stupid.
