A driver fired shots at Customs and Border Patrol agents in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood on Saturday, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
DHS said the border patrol agents were “conducting immigration enforcement operations” near 26th Street and Kedzie Avenue when a man driving a black Jeep fired shots.
DHS also said people nearby threw a paint can and bricks at the agents’ vehicles.
I’ve heard that courts have ruled that airports count as “the border” too. So anywhere within 100 miles of an airport. So basically anywhere in the country.
You heard incorrectly. Every source I’ve seen did not include airports.
They work in international airports though. They literally go through your luggage when you enter the country that way. I bet they aren’t restricted to the customs counter.
Right, but that doesn’t mean there’s a “100-mile no-rights border zone” around the airport.
At least until they find a lawsuit that SCOTUS can add it.
