    The law explicitly states that dwellings are excluded from this authority.

    As a result, within the 100-mile border zone, Border Patrol agents can take the following actions without a warrant:

    • Board and search vessels in territorial waters;
    • Board and search vehicles, trains, conveyances, or aircraft; and,
    • Enter private lands – but not dwellings – within 25 miles from an external boundary.

    Soooo… are campers, RVs, and mobile homes a loophole for citizens or for the government? (I’m aware they might be handled differently from each other)

      I want to say that they’d be a legal loophole in favor of the citizen…but I think we can all guess which way the chips would fall if we were to actually try and exploit such a loophole in the current political climate.
