Border Patrol Agents Shut Down Highways in Maine and New Hampshire With Checkpoints
By Matthew Haag

For 11 hours on Wednesday, drivers who wanted to travel through a remote stretch of northern Maine were asked a simple question: Where were you born?
Border Patrol agents closed off all southbound lanes of Interstate 95 north of Bangor, Me., stopping drivers, searching outside their cars with drug-sniffing dogs and refusing to let them pass until they disclosed their citizenship. At least one encounter was captured on cellphone video.
“Good afternoon, ma’am, U.S. Border Patrol immigration inspection,” an officer told two reporters with the Bangor Daily News who had heard about the checkpoint, about 80 miles from the Canadian border, and decided to drive to it and record their interaction. “What country are you a citizen of?”
The driver protested. “If you want to continue down the road, then yes, ma’am, we need to know what country you’re a citizen of,” the agent said.
Such immigration checkpoints on highways have been used by the Border Patrol for years, often along popular smuggling and drug-trafficking routes in the Southwest. But their frequency has increased under President Trump, federal officials have said. The one in Maine was set up several days after agents conducted a three-day checkpoint on a New Hampshire highway, at least the second checkpoint in that state so far this year.

Great use of our tax dollars.

One of my husband’s friends is in the Canadian Forces. One time he was leading a convoy to California for desert training and they got stopped for one of these nowhere-near-the-border checkpoints.
He was in a Canadian uniform, in a Canadian military vehicle, flying a Canadian flag, with about 300 Canadian soldiers behind him and they asked him if he was a US citizen.
He asked if they’re always so polite to invading armies and getting no answer from the dumbfounded BP he ordered the column to drive on.
Barry Soetoro best steer clear of Maine

“Who won da Series in thoity-eight?”
This has been done every year in the same spot on I-93 in New Hampshire during Motorcycle Week for well over 20 years.
As idiotic as this sounds, it prevents the argument that the USBP is profiling, ask everyone the same question.
Remember a van load of "marines" was stopped in SoCal and their name tapes were all the same? None knew when the birthday of the USMC was and that's blasphemy to a real Marine.
There goes the next TPB tour! Sleep safe Merica, Ricky Bubbles and Julian are safely a border away.
What was the Canadian military doing here? Did they have orders to allow them here like a joint FTX?
Do checkpoints really shut down the highway?
I don’t think so.
Fake News headline...
Can they do anything to keep them away from the Sturgis Rally?
We’re waiting for the invasion from Canada!
Oh wait...
Praise Jesus. Is this for real? Oh gawd I hope so!!
