Border Patrol Hindered on Protected Lands While Drug Cartels Trash Environment
6th October 2012
Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Ivie was murdered near Naco, AZ while investigating a tripped sensor. He and two other agents were on horseback, because the area is federal land and no vehicles are allowed on wilderness lands.
The environment is apparently more important to our government than allowing our Border Patrol agents easy access to known smuggling lands. It also makes them open targets without an easy getaway.
Of course. Law enforcement can break down your door and trash your house and pistol-whip your kids because they got the wrong apartment on a drug bust, but God forbid they use vehicles in federal wilderness lands.
