Op-Ed: The long, deep reach of the U.S. Border Patrol (via latimesopinion)
Four agents involved in the incident have been referred for possible discipline, but the results of that process have not been finalized.
At many of the checkpoints, the agents use dogs to sniff for drugs, radiation sensors to look for dirty bombs and collect license numbers that are stored in a database for 15 years. And now agents are immune from prosecution for even flagrant violations of the constitutional rights of immigrants and citizens alike.
Legislation has been introduced in the House to cut back the border zone to 25 miles from external boundaries. An even smaller zone might be appropriate given that 58% of apprehensions happen within one mile of the border.
