***PRESS RELEASE***

In an effort to combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking issues in the United States you
may have noticed that for the first time in almost 5 years the US Border Patrol check point on
Interstate 93 in Woodstock was re-initiated. Prior to this year the Woodstock check point was a
common occurrence around Motorcycle Week every year since the 1980’s, but due to funding
restrictions had been discontinued until now. The Woodstock checkpoint location puts it at 90
driving miles from the US/Canadian Border and is a federally authorized Border Patrol
checkpoint.

US Border Patrol’s primary function is to look for immigration violations and large quantities of
illegal narcotics at these checkpoints. Upon entry into a checkpoint zone Agents simply ask
motorists variations of “Are you a US Citizen” or “What country do you claim citizenship”. K9
Units are also out patrolling along the checkpoint area to search for any illegal narcotics. It is a
very unobtrusive interaction for those here legally and those without illegal drugs.

During the short (3) days which Border Patrol was set up at the Woodstock checkpoint they
detained (25) individuals without valid immigration status. In addition, with the diligence of
their K9’s detection work, over (30) individuals were arrested by Woodstock Police Department
for being in possession of drugs and/or drug paraphernalia for personal use. It is important to
note that out of the over 30 arrests, only two were taken into physical custody, while the rest
were released on scene with summonses to appear in court.

Illegal drugs seized include:

Over 2lbs of Marijuana, Cocaine, Psilocybin Mushrooms and Hash Oil

We understand that for those traveling through our area over this past weekend traffic slowing
and then having to stop to answer these questions might create a small delay, but it is a necessary
function to ensure the security of our Nation and an opportunity to remove illegal narcotics from
our communities.

Woodstock Police Department was proud to assist Border Patrol with their federal checkpoint
and in preventing these illegal drugs from staying on the streets of our Community.

***PUBLIC INFORMATION***

There does appear to be some confusion as to WHAT these checkpoints are intended for and
under whose authority. We would like to provide some publicly available information from the
US Customs and Border Protection Website (https://www.cbp.gov/border-security/along-us-
borders/overview) in an effort to clarify further for residents of our Community.

“Traffic Checkpoints
Traffic checks are conducted on major highways leading away from the border to (1) detect and apprehend illegal
aliens attempting to travel further into the interior of the United States after evading detection at the border and
(2) to detect illegal narcotics.” US Customs and Border Protection Website

“The authority for this is based on the Immigration and Nationality Act 287(a) (3) and copied in 8 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) 287 (a) (3), which states that Immigration Officers, without a warrant, may "within
a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States...board and search for aliens in any vessel
within the territorial waters of the United States and any railcar, aircraft, conveyance, or vehicle. 8 CFR 287 (a)
(1) defines reasonable distance as 100 air miles from the border.

Two key court decisions affirm the authority of the Border patrol to operate checkpoints and to question occupants
of vehicles about their citizenship, request document proof of immigration status, and make quick observations of
what is in plain view in the interior of the vehicle.

In US v. Martinez Fuerte (1976) the U.S. Supreme Court balanced the governmental interest in stopping illegal
immigration against the Fourth Amendment's protections against unreasonable search and seizure, finding that only
minimal intrusion existed to motorists at reasonably located check points, even in the absence of reasonable or
individualized suspicion.

In US V. Gordo_Marin, the U.S. Supreme Court also found no substantive difference between a permanent or
temporary checkpoint.

Border Patrol checkpoints do not give Border Patrol Agents carte blanche to automatically search persons
and their vehicles, other then in the manner described above. In order to conduct a legal search under the
Fourth Amendment, the agents must develop particularly probable cause to conduct a lawful search.
Probable cause can be developed from agent observations, records checks, non-intrusive canine sniffs and
other established means. Motorist's may consent to a search, but are not required to do so.

The Border Patrol protects the United States by interdicting terrorists, illegal narcotics, and illegal aliens
attempting to egress away from the border area into the interior portions of our nations.” US Customs and
Border Protection Website

NOTE:
100 Air Miles = 115 Road Miles

NOTE (2):
As stated above, a motorist asked to consent to search may decline under their Fourth Amendment Rights, BUT if
probable cause is established (such as a K9 indicating of drug presence) then the Agents may conduct a legal
search under the Fourth Amendment.

PRESS RELEASE BORDERPATROL FINAL.docx

Gilles,
 
I was notified of the check point on August 10, 2017, by Agent John Zavala and Agent Paul Kuhn who
arrived at my PD to advise me.  Attached is a press release which includes the 32 individuals
Woodstock PD charged.  I am not releasing the actually reports as they are still active awaiting court
proceedings.  I also included the few emails I received from Border Patrol.  One of the emails has an
attachment with their reports.  I did not include their reports as I am not authorized to release them
and it could possibly jeopardize the ongoing proceedings.   Please let me know if there is anything
further. 
 
Respectfully,
 
Ryan F. Oleson - Chief of Police
