    “In United States criminal law, the border search exception is a doctrine that allows searches and seizures at international borders and their functional equivalent without a warrant or probable cause.[1] Generally speaking, searches within 100 miles (160 km) of the border are more permissible without a warrant than those conducted elsewhere in the U.S. The doctrine also allows federal agents to search people at border crossings without a warrant or probable cause. The government is allowed to use scanning devices and to search personal electronics. Invasive bodily searches, however, require reasonable suspicion.”

    Please stop coming here. Vacation in other countries and stay safe from our fascists.

      I used to want to live in the US but then 2016 happened and then it happened again but worse. Much worse. I hope something better comes out of it in the end.
