...Real law enforcement work generates results. Instead of standing around admiring the scenery I’d like to see those Border Patrol agents rounding up the illegal immigrant drug dealers, felons, and human traffickers in the urban areas of New England where they congregate....

its all part of a multi level enforcement...so nh case of first impression throws out drug evidence because they didn’t get a warrant but they could have gotten a warrant with the hit by the trained dog..so next time get a telephonic warrant and the case is good to go...

The headline is a lie...... fake news.

The hiways in question were not shut down.

I’m glad that the rest of the country can now start to experience the Constitution-free zones that some of us have been living in for decades in the desert SW. Anyone can be hassled by jackboots, dogs, etc. within 100 miles of the border. It’s difficult to travel certain places because there are nonstop checkpoints. Yet people in this country think they are “free.”

Instead of doing things right such as shutting off the welfare perks and enforcing the existing laws, this gives the goons one more chance for security kabuki theater, and hassling ordinary citizens (aka property of the state).

I read the opinion and if challenged by the Feds will last about a Ninth Circuit minute. For a while there I thought NH was represented by John Calhoun.

If a drug pusher can cross the AZ,NM,TX border, I know where I would sell my stash:

(NYTIMES) Manchester is at the heart of New Hampshire’s opioid epidemic, which has first responders, lawmakers and health care administrators scrambling for solutions before the situation spirals further out of control.

Though other New England states such as Vermont and Maine have seen spikes in opioid-related deaths, the granite state ranks No. 2 in the nation, behind West Virginia, for the number of opioid-related deaths relative to its population. It ranks No. 1, though, for fentanyl-related deaths per capita.

Can you rummage up a link to it?

They have also stolen or disguised vehicles to mimic USBP vehicles.

Much obliged. I see that was some time ago — if I ever read that, I had forgotten it completely. Looks like U.S. citizens were the coyotes in this case.

So how would “the Feds” have standing in a state court drug possession case?

Which is one more reason why setting up a roadblock in the middle of nowhere in Woodstock NH is a waste of time and money.

Local tip for the ICE guys. Head to Manchester or better yet Lawrence MA.

The CF does some of their desert warfare training at 29 Palms. That’s how my husband (USMC ret.) knew his friend from the Governor General’s Horse Guards.
