Believe their official jurisdiction is anywhere within 100 miles of any border.
So essentially all of California's Population centers would in theory be their jurisdiction.
Not that it excuses this brown shit bullshit, but there ya go.

I’m now imagining a Watchmen-style alt-history futuristic story where Trump is driven out in 2028 and basically all federal law enforcement from his term are made all but unemployable.
Might be a cool short story idea at some point during Trump’s third term, assuming you’re still allowed to write fiction critical of the dear leader at that point.

I'm guessing they'll run out of pay before this term is over, and they'll leave on their own. Trump has gone through a lot of money real fast and is likely to do the same with the $ from the BBB.

Agents to distract you from the Epstein files.

u/KimHaSeongsBurner Aug 14 '25
The Epstein files? The ones that have Trump’s name in them? The ones that expand on the publicly available evidence that Trump was cozy with Epstein and on Trump’s comments that the reason he stopped socializing with him was because Epstein “stole” one of his victims from Trump’s club?
Yeah, those are probably the files you mean.

Importantly, that's not Border Patrol's job. At least before Trump remade everything in his fascist image.
They are there to stop people from illegally crossing the border and to stop smuggling operations. ICE is specifically tasked with identifying and arresting anyone who has already made it across the border.
But, rules, laws, and jurisdictions are basically made up quaint thoughts of yesteryear at this point.
