Mar 23, 2018 at 1:28 comment added Loren Pechtel I've never hit what I was sure was a checkpoint, but a few years back they directed all traffic through a setup with a bunch of cameras and stopped some vehicles. Despite having 4 ethnic-Chinese passengers we were not stopped. It was dark enough I couldn't see which law enforcement agency was doing it.
Apr 6, 2017 at 16:46 comment added phoog At internal checkpoints there's no requirement to have probable cause to detain someone for the purpose of determining immigration status. Once the immigration status has been determined, probable cause is required to prolong the detention. Rules surrounding the permissible length of detention vary from one appeals circuit to another; in particular the fifth circuit has looser rules than the ninth.
Feb 27, 2017 at 6:07 comment added djKianoosh @WayneWerner quite false. ICE and CBP are two separate components of DHS. Officers cant simply switch between the two. Not saying it cant happen but it's not as fluid as you state.
Feb 25, 2017 at 19:48 comment added Wayne Werner @DavidRicherby quite. Though at least in the US I'm pretty sure the ICE officers change between customs and immigration fairly fluidly.
