The American Civil Liberties Union has sued the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency over its refusal to provide complete records of stops and detentions in Michigan. The entire state of Michigan is designated as part of Homeland Security’s 100-mile zone, meaning Border Patrol agents have wide powers to engage in warrantless stops. The ACLU of Michigan said, “It’s not reasonable to claim that the entire state of Michigan is a border zone. Border enforcement—and the powers that go with it—belongs at the border and not in our communities.”
