The exact circumstances around the search are not known. But activist Samuel Tunick is charged with deleting data from a Google Pixel before CBP’s Tactical Terrorism Response Team could search it.
Legally, they cannot refuse entry to a US Citizen. Legally.
But just because someone is based in the US doesn’t mean they’re a citizen. And they don’t need any justification to search someone, because airports and land within 100 miles of a border is a “constitution-free zone” (but not 100 miles from an airport, contrary to popular belief).
Lmao so now we’re saying all of Southern California south of Newport Beach (85 mi from Tijuana) is a place where the constitution does not apply? New York west of Rochester? (80 mi from Niagara) Pretty much all of Alaska’s tail thingy next to Canada? 😂
Oh it’s worse than that. International airports also count towards that. So if you live within 100 miles from an airport with international flights you are deprived of a lot of rights.
They have to “develop probable cause” to do more than check your ID but we’ve seen how easy that is over the years. At the end of the day they will make up the probable cause if they need to. But even more importantly this is the authority they’re using to have Border Patrol conduct military style patrols in our cities.
This town is 40mi south of the Canadian border, and you will hear people speaking other languages in public as long as you aren’t in one of the racist bars. Unfortunately, I lived there for a while, and the CBP are constantly waddling into gas stations and shops hoping to relive the glory of making international headlines. (they just arrested someone from the UK, so that strategy must be working)
Its far worse than that. Anywhere that is within 80 miles of an international airport, they claim, is also inside their jurisdiction.
"U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) jurisdiction at airports covers all international arrivals/departures as designated ports of entry, plus a 100-mile zone inland from borders and coasts for immigration/customs enforcement, meaning they can operate at large international airports like DEN or DFW and even domestic ones if near borders, stopping, questioning, and searching individuals/belongings for admissibility and contraband, though searches need consent or probable cause for internal searches, notes the ACLU.

Yup. And guess what, those ares are also where nearly two thirds of the country lives.

Yes. You are beginning to understand what has been going on.
“now we’re saying”…? It has been like that for the last 50+ years, it’s just that most other administrations haven’t been as flagrant about it.
I think it’s even worse then that. Do you have an international airport nearby?
Not us, SCOTUS said it.
CBP; ACLU Maine; ACLU

That’s literally the point

Hahahahahhahaha! 😂😂🤣
Yep. Pretty much. 😐😞

No, it’s only at the airport.
Or at least it was; I’m sure now they’d just send ICE instead of CBP anywhere in the country.
JFYI: Your quote sates that it is within 100 miles of a border or coast. Not 80 :(
This isn’t accurate. That’s where CBP has jurisdiction to operate, but they’re still bound by the constitution (for now),
It does indeed include international airports.
