Assuming this isn't within 100 miles of the border (which technically would be the ocean, I guess), and absent reasonable articulable suspicion, ICE has no lawful basis to stop cars and ask for proof of citizenship.

"Am I being detained? Am I free to go?" Is all that you say in this situation.

Remember! DHS/ICE is Trump's personal ARMY. Guaranteed expanded through the Big Abomination Bill -- wholly supported by "Republicans", his own organization of Political Officers loyal only to him. I repeat: a national ARMED FORCE loyal only to Trump, untouchable by law enforcement, is coming.

The widest part of Florida is 150 miles across. Include the international borders and thats 174 miles. Only problem is, the border is on both sides of you. The 100 mile rule for ICE is dumb, should be unconstitutional, and needs to be repealed if we ever get the chance again.

FL is hosed unless the law is changed. The ACLU used a map from a Bloomberg article which used a he US coastline (blue dash). CFR 287(a) defines the 100 mile zone from the US External Boundary (I plotted in red). My map shows a smaller area. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It also is worth noting that this includes international airports. It is possible to be right in the middle of the continent and still be a few miles from the border because airports count as the border.

So that picks up cities of almost any real size because they will have at least one flight from Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean, what many people wouldn't think makes an international airport.

Bingo. I read an article about this recently that boiled down to "if you think you are safe from border patrol, you're not." Them having jurisdiction within a distance of international airports was the primary reason.

How true & some would call it karma. US territorial sovereignty starts bout 14 miles from the shoreline & every point in FL falls within the 100 mile ICE limit. FL can really legally be a test case for surveilling, stopping & questioning ALL ppl, i.e., a gestapo run State.
