The government calls it Operation Secure Line.

The documents list people who officials think should be targeted for screening at the border.

The individuals listed include ten journalists, seven of whom are U.S. citizens, a U.S. attorney, and 47 people from the U.S. and other countries, labeled as organizers, instigators or their roles “unknown.” The target list includes advocates from organizations like Border Angels and Pueblo Sin Fronteras.

...

For each person, the documents show their photo, often from their passport but in some cases from their social media accounts, along with their personal information. That information includes the person’s date of birth, their “country of commencement,” and their alleged role tied to the migrant caravan. The information also includes whether officials placed an alert on the person’s passport.

Some individuals have a colored “X” over their photo, indicating whether they were arrested, interviewed, or had their visa or SENTRI pass revoked by officials.

In addition to flagging the individuals for secondary screenings, the Homeland Security source told NBC 7 that the agents also created dossiers on each person listed.

“We are a criminal investigation agency, we’re not an intelligence agency,” the Homeland Security source told NBC 7 Investigates. “We can’t create dossiers on people and they’re creating dossiers. This is an abuse of the Border Search Authority.”

It doesn't matter that they can't create dossiers, this administration will do anything they want. Anything.

I wonder how many other lists of undesirables that this administration has compiled.

Did I say that I think the Democrats are innocent? No, I did not. I will say that you have pointed at one Democratic Senator and painted the whole group with a broad brush. It may come as some surprise to you but not all Democrats were on board with Feinstein, were they? Contrast that with every single Republican covering for the Cheeto Jizztrumpet.

Duhversion incomplete. You fail.

Besides those reasons falling under the category of being racists, one other compelling reason that the Repubs fear "the stifling rising tide of poor destitute immigrants from south of the border" is that they are all more than likely to vote Democrat the moment they're able to.

Many said the expansion of the security state under Bush\Obama would bite us in the ass with future presidents. But when they screamed about it all they got was excuses or ridicule.

And you can bet there are many many many other lists. The genie won't be put back into the bottle.

Totally legit and normal. Definitely nothing to worry about. Move along, good citizens.

Will probably have to have a dedicated server to keep that list of enemies. Something about this seems familiar. The last time a president had an enemies list, he resigned in shame.

Be sure to blame anybody other than the people actually doing it, the Trump admin. They're using CBP to harass their perceived political enemies.
