CBP必須就“違憲”檢查站提起訴訟。
April 12, 2021
A Federal Court in New Hampshire is allowing the ACLU’s lawsuit challenging CBP’s checkpoints in New England to proceed. While an individual CBP (Customs and Border Protection Agency) agent was dismissed from the case, the court rejected the Agency’s argument that the case against CBP should be dismissed. As part of these immigration checkpoints, CBP has detained hundreds, if not thousands of individuals who were lawfully traveling in northern New England during the summer and fall, for tourist reasons without any suspicion that they have committed a crime. The ACLU affiliates argue that these checkpoints are beyond the scope of CBP’s authority.
