  Lake Michigan isn’t a border…

    Due to the Straits of Mackinac, the CBP considers it to be so.

      That would still make Chicago. The third largest city in America further than 100 miles from the border.

        I reckon you can sail from lake superior to Chicago and not pass customs until Chicago.

      I don’t get it. The border is north of the UP.

      Why do the straights count?

      • sudo@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Because they want more jurisdiction and got it.

    It is a border between wet and dry.

  can ice do more shit in the 100 mile zone or nah?

  source

  • outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yes and it includes ‘within 100 miles of an airport’.

    source

    • axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      so basically the entire us?

      source

      • captainlezbian@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yep, which is why its more or less blatant ignorance of the constitution

        Don’t be such a hyperbolic drama queen; I’m sure theres like a ten square foot area in south dakota or something.

    ICE isn’t CBP though. They technically don’t have jurisdiction over American citizens. CBP does.

    • outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      technically dont have jurisdiction

      Oh. Im sure all the citizens they kidnap are very comforted by that.

      They’ve started using CBP agents for immigration raids…

  Considering the relative surface areas, with those percentages you provided, actually, yes, America is less consolidated.

  source

  • Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The United States also has eight times the total population. I only saw one source that said 40% and the overwhelming majority said either 2/3 or something in the low 70%

      Could it be that one source referred only to places with an actual border, while the rest included anything within 160 km of any coast?

  Bold of you to think any part of the Constitution actually applies down here.

  source

  • Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Well the exemptions to border patrol agents have been on the books for a lot longer than the current administration

    source
• spoke0thedevil@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  …of which border?

  source

  • 4am@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The American one

    source
  • 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The border with the ocean probably, humans love to live on the crust of the land

    Sorry. I clarified with a photo in my post
