Presently, CBP claims jurisdiction miles into the interior of the U. In some cases, the agency does not recognize even the mile limit for operations other than interior checkpoints, and roving-patrol stops are commonly made outside the zone.
A recent ACLU of Michigan report underscored how cavalierly the agency treats even loose limits on its authority. Border communities will not trust CBP without an independent accounting of notorious and improperly investigated cases of brutality and cruel treatment. The film included eyewitness video of a brutal beating of Anastasio Hernandez-Rojas, who at one point was prone and handcuffed on the ground. The letter was written two years after Hernandez-Rojas was killed, and the Department of Justice took another three and a half years to absolve DHS personnel of criminal responsibility.
Alliance San Diego offers an overview of the testimony, in which the officials allege that investigators:. In , Congress again responded with outrage to news of misconduct that had been hidden for years. The substance was highly potent methamphetamine, and Velazquez died in agony after the officers did not call for medical attention, despite observing his discomfort. He told ABC News he had never seen the video and declined an offer to watch it.
The letter highlights the clear need for oversight:. These oversight recommendations represent a clear opportunity for Congress to bring accountability to the largest law enforcement agency in the United States. CBP suffers from long-standing and serious transparency, oversight, and accountability deficits. Patterns of racial profiling, excessive force, and dehumanizing conduct have implicated significant numbers of CBP personnel.

As an article from the Washington Office on Latin America explains, by two out of three migrants were children or parents, most of them seeking to be apprehended and processed to seek asylum. Agents were dedicating much or most of their time to processing paperwork, caring for children and families in custody, and interacting with people who were victims of trauma.
The entire Border Patrol Agent basic training curriculum is being re-designed to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to the most effective methods and tools. It also includes recommendations from field operations and suggestions from NGOs. Significantly, the new curriculum represents a transition from traditional teaching methods to student-centric, performance-based training.
To address these issues and accommodate the performance-based methodology, the program length is being increased by 88 hours bringing the total to days of training.
Congress should evaluate what CBP requires in the way of academy, refresher, and update trainings for its law enforcement workforce. TSA screeners can search you and your baggage at screening checkpoints, but they cannot arrest you. Other law enforcement officers, such as airport police, are present at airports.
Even if the initial screening of your bags by TSA reveals nothing suspicious, the screeners have the authority to conduct a further search of you or your bags.
Screeners may not select you for a personal search or secondary inspection based on your religion, race, national origin, gender, ethnicity, or political beliefs. You have the right to wear your religious head covering. You should assert your right to wear your religious head covering if asked to remove it before going through airport security screening.
If an alarm goes off, however, airport security officers may request additional screening. They may then conduct a pat-down of your religious head covering or ask you to remove it.
You have the right to request that the pat-down or removal be conducted by a person of your gender and that it occurs in a private area.
If you do not want the TSA officer to touch your religious head covering, you must refuse and say that you would prefer to pat down your own religious head covering. You will then be taken aside, and a TSA officer will supervise you as you pat down your religious head covering. After the pat-down, the TSA officer may rub your hands with a small cotton cloth and place it in a machine to test for chemical residue.
If you pass this chemical residue test, you should be allowed to proceed to your flight. If the TSA officer insists on the removal of your religious head covering, you have a right to ask that it be done in a private area. Officers may not conduct additional screening based solely on your race, national origin, religion, gender, ethnicity, or political beliefs. You may opt your children out of an airport scan. However, there is no exemption for children from the pat-down search.
Children under 13 years old may leave their shoes, light jackets, and headwear on during screening. Parents and caregivers flying with and without children are permitted to bring breast milk and formula and ice packs or other accessories required to cool the breast milk or formula in quantities greater than three ounces, as long as you notify the officers about the items at the security checkpoint.
When carrying breast milk or formula through the checkpoint, they will be inspected. TSA officials may test the liquids for explosives. TSA officials may ask you to open the containers during the screening process. Breast milk and formula, along with other liquids and gels, may also be packed in your luggage and checked with your airline. A pilot may not, however, question you or refuse to allow you on a flight because of biased stereotypes, including any based on your religion, race, national origin, gender, ethnicity, or political beliefs.
If you believe you are mistakenly on a list, you should contact the TSA and file an inquiry using the Traveler Redress Inquiry Program. More information is available here.
