Raw Story · School district warns parents of border patrol agents boarding buses for citizenship checkBy David Edwards

Went through my first #BorderPatrol #checkpoint here in #NewMexico. They are diverting all northbound #I25 traffic off the Interstate for a Border Patrol inspection. Every vehicle. There's no getting around it. Looked like the setup has been there at least for a couple of weeks? Maybe months. And they're totally racist as fuck too going about it. Elmer Fudd took one look at me and waved me through. Guess I was the right shade of white.

⭐️ Bonus info- ⭐
🔘It is perfectly legal to record immigration agents as long as you are not on govt property or @ a port of entry. If your train/bus is boarded, pull your phone out & start recording immediately.
🔘 If detained or you see someone getting detained, get the agent's name, #, & any other identifying information; video if possible.
🔘 Contact the ACLU or your local Immigrant/Migrant support orgs if you see someone's rights being violated. #ice #cbp #borderpatrol #migra #lamigra #feds

NBC News · Gun used in border agent shootout was bought by a person linked to a double murder, prosecutors sayBy Rich Schapiro

In #Vermont, #borderpatrol agents shot and killed a #German guy they thought had an expired visa, but it turns out his #H1B was still valid. The border patrol claims his 21-year-old American girlfriend started the shooting. A border patrol agent also died but he may have been shot by his own side since they are only charging the young woman with gun charges.
