Border Patrol is at the center of the immigration crackdown in North Carolina – what does US law say about their presence?

    The law is this: Border patrol is allowed to operate anywhere in the United States. They have elevated powers to pull over automobiles in the 100-mile border zone. Where “international waters” counts as a border.

    I don’t know what the distance is from Charlotte to the Atlantic Ocean is.

    More than 1/3 of the US population lives in that damn border zone.

      According to Google maps it’s almost 200 miles to the NW outskirts of Charlotte from Myrtle Beach. That’s outside the 100 mile enforcement zone by a wide margin (which deals specifically with vehicles).

      Death to ICE.
      Abolish DHS.
      Nazi lives don’t matter.
