Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Detentions at the border, especially in the context of customs and immigration enforcement, can be based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to probable cause. Border officials have broad authority to conduct searches and detentions for the purposes of enforcing immigration and customs laws without necessarily needing the same level of justification (probable cause) required within the interior for other types of law enforcement activities.
