I continued to argue points of law, and finally one officer said, "we're not going to argue points of law with you, you clearly know it." That was the smartest thing I heard them say all night.
The excuses and misstatements of law are all things I've heard before. I gather these are part of standard CBP officer training. We decided to put together a non-exhaustive list affectionately called "CBPBS." Feel free to append!
Refusal to admit client exists Refusal to admit client exists “on basis of privacy” Refusal to pass message that attorney is trying to reach client Refusal to admit G-28 (entry of appearance) fax received Refusal to accept G-28 because “this isn't immigration court”
Refusal to accept G-28 because client has not signed it Refusal to give G-28 to client to let them sign it Lying to client and telling them that their attorney has misfiled documents Lying to client and telling them that they are not eligible for any relief
Erroneous statement that SCOTUS has ruled that these don't have to be accepted Erroneous statement that SCOTUS has ruled there's no right to counsel at the border Irrelevant statement that “we do a lot more than admissions here”
Erroneous statement that CBP adjudicates green card applications “all the time” Erroneous statement that LPRs are regarded as seeking admission “because they are not coming from a contiguous land area”
How do they justify holding a US citizen?
Sounds like they didn’t justify it, they just did it anyway.
Followed. Please consider making the aforementioned CBPBS into a book/pamphlet, I’m sure @aclu would value this info & assist you in creating it, they’ll want to sell it to clients, like their Know Your Rights booklets. Please seriously consider this. https://shop.aclu.org/know-your-rights/ …
Thank you for this whole thread
It’s a simple fact that CBP doesn’t give a shit about the law and they have been given free reign to do whatever the hell they please. This reminds me of border crossings in wartime ex-Yugoslavia.
Another one I would get when calling CBP to confirm client detained (before they’re entered into system):
Cannot give information “b/c of privacy law.” But I sent G-28. Doesn’t matter.
Asked for his name so I could file complaint: “I don’t have to give you my name.”
