Residents Want Permission to Monitor Border Patrol Checkpoints from Just 20 Feet Away
Arivaca, AZ
Plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Border Patrol are making an unusual request: They want permission to monitor agents from 20 feet away.
Two residents of an Arizona town, Arivaca, filed a lawsuit last year, claiming the Border Patrol violates their First Amendment rights and bullies anyone who protests the checkpoint, the Associated Press reports.
An attorney for Border Patrol argued that checkpoints are not a public forum and having people monitor checkpoints would be dangerous.
