  3. Speaking of California, there is this report of CBP putting automated license plate readers in remote areas that log all traffic:

    When a camera like this is in a remote area, it becomes an easy target for physical destruction by direct action warriors. This goes double for anything owned or operated by ICE or CBP. You can bet these would not last long in Minneapolis.

    Short of that, if there is little traffic it should be safe to stop out of range of the camera, cover up license plates, drive past the camera and out of range, then remove the covers. Only cops would make an issue of it, and some remote roads see few cops.

  4. The broader issue here is rhetorical escalation. Once debate shifts from agency conduct to personal contempt, it becomes harder to separate messaging strategy from governance. That is an inference based on the reported exchange.

  10. Federal judge: continued #BorderPatrol sweeps violated court order

    https://calmatters.org/justice/2026/04/border-patrol-sweeps-violated-court-order/

    A federal judge ruled that Border Patrol sweeps in #California were conducted "without considering or complying with law Congress enacted."

  11. The medical examiner in #Buffalo, #NY has ruled that the death of a nearly #blind man left alone by #BorderPatrol agents on a frigid night was a #homicide, a finding that could [better] lead to #criminal charges.

    Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a #Rohingya #refugee from #Myanmar, died in February after the agents dropped him off outside a closed Tim Hortons doughnut shop. His death triggered outrage in Buffalo & around the nation.

  12. Customs and Border Patrol chief Michael Banks has been accused by six different current and former CBP agents of sex tourism in Colombia and Thailand. How did they know he did it? Because he couldn't stop bragging about it.

    CBP started its own internal investigation, but it was stopped under Kristi Noem (though the article stops short of explicitly accusing her of quashing it).

  16. There are scores of people who have never recovered, or been recovered, from an #FSB interrogation.

    They’re a hard organization to describe because nothing like the FSB exists in the #USA. To get even remotely close, you’d have to ask the #CIA to birth a seven-headed hydra with the faces of the #FBI, #DEA, #NSA, #Immigration, #BorderPatrol, #CoastGuard, and the #Navy Seals with a hangover and a grudge.
