190 miles, huh? So some small East coast states are basically all border?
I wonder if the Dublin airport also counts as US border, according to Homeland Security.
It’s worse than that.. nearly 2/3 of the total population is under border jurisdiction. But it’s 100 miles, not nearly double that..
Thanks for rectifying.
All of Florida! And New York & New Jersey if I'm not mistaken. And plenty of those small states up there.
USA really are a police state despite having shockingly bad police.
May I ask since when this has been the law?
According to this link (idk how accurate it is, and it’s from 2018), it’s been in place for over 75 years. It’s affectionately referred to as the “constitution-free zone”.

Are international airports in as well? If so, then this map needs to be sprinkled with 200 mile wide dots. And I'm fucked.
