Dad deported to El Savadorean Concentration Camp on the basis of skin art, mum sent to Venezuela, daughter somewhere in the US.

ICE agents raid a house, turf out the family in their underwear. Turned out the family were all Americans and not the aliens they were looking for.

Border Patrol rounding up people in a Home Depot carpark. Not far from a Papiere Bitte culture.

The British know, from bitter experience, that the Army is not best placed to do the job of the Police.

Wow. How stunning and brave of Greyhound. Unfortunately, they have no right to see any warrants, nor to impede ICE in their duties.

Greyhound to stop allowing immigration checks on buses

"Greyhound, the nation’s largest bus company, said Friday it will stop allowing Border Patrol agents without a warrant to board its buses to conduct routine immigration checks.

The company’s announcement came one week after The Associated Press reported on a leaked Border Patrol memo confirming that agents can’t board private buses without the consent of the bus company."

 

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have stated that mothers were deported for being in the U.S. illegally, and they chose to take their children with them. Homan emphasized, “Having a US citizen child does not make you immune from our laws.”

 

Post is misleading / fake news.

Would you rather have the children be separated from their parents?

 

Exactly. Their parents are criminals. I don't see a problem and it's not the US taxpayers' problem.

Simply providing a link would have cost you the same number of keystrokes.

 

You don't want the readers of your posts to know the details?

Who cares about links? They don't work, people are too lazy to copy and paste.

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 gives immigration extra powers within a 100-mile distance to any external border.

 

According to 8 U.S. Code § 1357, employees of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Customs and Border Patrol are granted certain "powers without warrant" within this area, such as the authority to "board and search for aliens" on any "railway car, aircraft, conveyance, or vehicle." This law also gives border patrol agents the authority to "access private lands, but not dwellings, for the purpose of patrolling the border to prevent the illegal entry of aliens into the United States." However, the law states that border patrol agents only have the authority to "access private lands" within 25 miles of the border, not 100 miles.

 

Two --thirds of the US population, about 200 million people, live within that zone.........which includes the entire eastern seaboard and most of California.

 

 

Dang it, Truman! 

 

You and all those fascist democrats controlling both houses  of the 82nd congress!

U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the federal agency tasked with patrolling the U.S. border and areas that function like a border, claims a territorial reach much larger than you might imagine. A federal law says that, without a warrant, CBP can board vehicles and vessels and search for people without immigration documentation “within a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States.” These “external boundaries” include international land borders but also the entire U.S. coastline.

The federal government defines a “reasonable distance” as 100 air miles from any external boundary of the U.S.

 

 

I can confirm this.  I lived in southwest Texas 'bout 15 miles (air distance) from the southern border.  Border Patrol traffic checkpoints are common.
