I recognise the picture. That checkpoint
is on I-25, just north of Truth or Consequences,
New Mexico. I’ve seen it shut down numerous
times over the years.

You are correct, my bad. I should have
paid closer attention, as that area is not
interstate highway.

“I have never run into a BP Checkpoint. What does that look like?”

There is a picture of a big one at post 10, but others are set up like mobile DUI check points.

Police Departments nationwide have reassigned their Homicide Detectives, the Robbery Detectives, the Gang Interdiction squads and the street patrols from the high crime areas to help the meter maids process parking tickets.

Concern trolls do what concern trolls do - and like their Dem friends, ignore the actual problem and blame other sources instead of supporting the only one fighting for the right thing.

Sorry to invade your safe space snowflake.

Trump is not really the King of Catch and Release. It’s all a lie. The border is secure. Illegal immigration is way down. Family chain migration has been reduced. Trump is not on track to admit more third worlders than Obama.

Can verify that checkpoints are shuttered. Passed one while inbound to Las Cruces on US-70 and outbound to Deming on I-10. Any illegal or drug runner in El Paso has a clear route out to anywhere else in the US. Grrr...
