The United States Border Patrol is ignoring the Constitution and regularly trampling the rights of US Citizens, including many ranchers.
That’s the allegation increasingly being made by residents of Southwestern states and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
“They have completely ignored what this country was based on and that’s private property and human rights — being an American,” Rancher John Ladd said of the Border Patrol in a disturbing new ACLU video. Among other things, Ladd accuses the Border Patrol of making it impossible to operate the Bisbee, Arizona ranch that’s been in his family for six generations.
He said the Border Patrol:
- Monitors his movements “every day. … I’m questioned daily about what I’m doing.” Agents watch his every movement through cameras on his ranch and call him to see what he is doing. He said he sometimes says, “That’s none of your business.”
- Threatened to shoot his dogs if they were running loose. “That’s what the mentality is down here, I cannot even let my dogs run wild.” Ladd said. He keeps them in a fence.
- Cut his fences and let his cattle loose. Ladd complained that this could make him liable for a lawsuit because the cattle could cross highways and create a wreck.
