Federal authorities such as ICE and the Border Patrol claim the power to conduct warrantless stops of people and vehicles within 100 miles of the US border. That includes within 100 miles of the West Coast, Eastern Seaboard or Gulf Coast.

What most people don’t know is that "two-thirds of the U.S. population lives within this 100-mile border enforcement zone".

I encourage you to look at this map:

Never knew that the Fourth Amendment did not apply within 100 miles of a border. They can set up roadblocks to conduct searches I imagine. But that doesn't give them the right to go around stopping and searching vehicles anywhere within 100 miles.

It doesn't apply if the fucking Supreme Court says it doesn't apply.
