Travelers have the right to remain silent," it said in a statement. "Travelers who cooperate are passed through quickly, unless the agent suspects they are in violation of federal law. Travelers who refuse to cooperate may be referred to a secondary examination area to allow agents to conduct additional questioning to determine the traveler's citizenship or residency."
Armed with search authority to conduct immigration checks within a "reasonable distance" of 100 air miles from U.S. land borders and coastlines, the Border Patrol also set up a checkpoint last weekend on Interstate 93 near Woodstock, New Hampshire.
The June 15-17 operation resulted in the arrests of five undocumented immigrants from Brazil, China, Ecuador, El Salvador and Mexico as well as the seizure of drugs, according to Customs and Border Protection.
The American Civil Liberties of New Hamphire has said there have been a handful of Border Patrol checkpoints on I-93 in Woodstock — about 90 miles from the Canadian border — since last summer, WMUR-TV reported. There had been no such checkpoints there in more than five years.
"Immigration police in this country are emboldened," Gilles Bissonette, legal director of the ACLU of New Hampshire, said in statement after 17 people were arrested during a Memorial Day weekend operation. "We're seeing it not only nationally, but right here in New Hampshire."
The actions of the federal agency in the area also came under scrutiny earlier this month when a Maine bus company employee told a group of passengers they had to be U.S. citizens to ride a bus. A Border Patrol agency had inquired about the citizenship of the passengers.
The ACLU in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont filed suit in May against U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, seeking records on Border Patrol checkpoints and bus raids, ICE arrests at courthouses and what it said were the targeted arrests of immigrants' rights activists.
"New England residents have a right to know what federal agents are doing in their communities and to demand accountability for their actions," ACLU Vermont staff attorney Lia Ernst said in a statement at the time.
The bus incident, which happened on Memorial Day in Bangor, was captured in cell phone video recorded by a Massachusetts man, Alec Larson. He was asked about his citizenship at the bus terminal as he and his girlfriend were boarding a Concord Coach Lines bus for the trip home to Boston.
Hello @Kathryn44
The bus employee was mistaken, an executive with Concord Coach Lines said later.
Border Patrol can ask you if you're a citizen of the United States, but, depending on the situation, you don't have to answer the question, according to the ACLU.
Two-thirds of the U.S. lives inside this so-called 100-mile border zone, which includes many major cities and several entire states, including Florida, Michigan, Maine and Hawaii, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.
Border Patrol checks within the 100-mile zone are getting more attention lately as the Trump administration ratchets up its crackdown on illegal immigration.
Larson's video was widely circulated online after a Facebook post from the ACLU of New Hampshire in which Bissonnette blasted the agents' actions.
NEW YORK (FOX5NY) - A 6-year-old Costa Rican boy

was rescued by U.S. Border Patrol agents after he was abandoned on a border road in Arizona on Tuesday evening.
The agents discovered the boy just north of the border west of Lukeville in temperatures over 100 degrees.
The child claimed that he was dropped off by "his uncle" and that Border Patrol would pick him up. Agents say the boy said he was on his way to see his mother in the U.S.
When will Q Drop the hammer???
They say that the child was found in good condition. He was taken to Tucson to be checked out and processed. It was unclear what would happen to him next.
FIRST LADY VISITS US-MEXICO BORDER
The Border Patrol says the incident highlights the dangers faced by migrants at the hands of smugglers. Children in particular are extremely vulnerable, not only to exploitation, but also to the elements in the environment.
They added that Arizona’s desert "is a merciless environment for those unprepared for its remote, harsh terrain and unpredictable weather."
The acting deputy Secretary of Homeland Security warned employees Saturday that “there may be a heightened threat” against them, according to the memo obtained by CBS News. The memo comes amid the increasing furor over the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy.
“This assessment is based on specific and credible threats that have been levied against certain DHS employees and a sharp increase in the overall number of general threats against DHS employees — although the veracity of each threat varies,” says the message from Claire M. Grady. “In addition, over the last few days, thousands of employees have had their personally identifiable information publically released on social media.”
Hammer is coming...Trust the plan
The memo recommends numerous safety precautions, including not displaying work badge in public, be careful with public conversations and using caution on all social networks. It also recommends DHS employees “always keep doors and windows locked” and “be aware of unexpected changes in and around your home.”
DHS employees are encouraged to call 911 if they feel threatened and if local law enforcement doesn’t respond, to call Federal Protective Service.
Grady says she is “eternally grateful” for all the work DHS employees have been putting in, but “there are those who misconstrue your work in a negative way or seek to disrupt your work to advance outside agenda.”

The Trump administration enacted a “zero tolerance” policy against undocumented immigrants entering the country in April, detaining parents and placing children in government-contracted shelters. Earlier this week amid intense backlash, President Trump signed an executive order temporarily suspending family separation but said “zero tolerance” is here to stay. The coverage of the controversy has dominated the news for over a week.
On Thursday, WikiLeaks published a database identifying more than 9,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employees, according to The Washington Post. According to the Post, the database included information such as employees’ publicly available personal information and job history scraped from LinkedIn and their LinkedIn profile pictures and information on their educational background and the city and state in which they’re based.

As anger over the issue has grown, protesters on Tuesday disrupted Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen’s dinner at a Mexican restaurant. On Friday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave a restaurant in Virginia. The owner told The Washington Post she asked Sanders and her party to leave because “this feels like the moment in our democracy when people have to make uncomfortable actions and decisions to uphold their morals.”
There were protests held nationwide Saturday over immigration as elected officials demanded access to the shelters where children are being held.
Late Saturday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said in a statement that 522 children had been reunited with their families. Those children were in the custody of Customs and Border Protection.
HHS said that as of June 20, 2,053 separated minors were in the custody of HHS. HHS said it is “working with relevant agency partners to foster communications and work towards reuniting every minor and every parent or guardian via well-established reunification processes
