Cleland said that she and another observer in a different car followed the Dodge Ram because of "concern about a local apartment building being raided."

The agent addressed me by my name and informed me that they had facial recognition' and that his body cam was recording. The agent stated that he worked for border patrol. He wore full camouflage fatigues.

The agent stated that I was impeding their work. He indicated he was giving me a verbal warning and if I was found to be impeding again, I would be arrested."

Am I surprised that the government of a petulant toddler would punish someone for exercising their first amendment right?

Not at all.

ACLU should be all over this.

From the article it doesn't say if she is now on the no fly list. They won't tell you until you are denied boarding at the gate. That concerns me because that threat has been made calling constitutional observers 'domestic terrorists.'
