These mysterious actions were not carried out by local law enforcement or even right-wing terrorists, but by the U.S. Border Patrol. Why was the Border Patrol operating so far from the boundaries of the United States? What were they doing at a protest that had nothing to do with immigration or the border? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNobody Is Protected: How the Border Patrol Became the Most Dangerous Police Force in the United States\u003c\/i\u003e is the untold story of how, through a series of landmark but largely unknown decisions, the Supreme Court has dramatically curtailed the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution in service of policing borders.
