Before I begin, isn’t this really what “Freedom of the Press” is supposed to be about? Doesn’t it exist to keep elected officials and things they do in check and expose corruption and lawlessness? Yeah, I thought so too, but we aren’t hearing this on the evening news, are we?
Anthony Gucciardi reports on these “Constitution Free Zones” where law breaking DHS is violating your constitutionally protected rights.
According to Gucciardi, “Within this fabricated ‘border’, the DHS can search your electronic belongings for no reason. We’re talking about no suspicion, no reasonable cause, nothing. No reason whatsoever is required under their own regulations.”
Is DHS above the law of the land? Absolutely not. However, the question I have for Congress is “Why are you guys not reining in this agency and calling out their unconstitutional actions?”
Strangely enough, the border for these Constitution Free Zones includes not only Mexico and Canada, but also states like Oregon, New York, North and South Carolina and various other coastal states, even Alaska! Below is a graphic showing the area in which DHS will take your computer or other electronic devices, search your belongings and shake you down without a warrant and without cause and claim they are within the law. 
This has been going on since 2008, which means that under Barack Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, the DHS began to abuse its power more than it had in previous years and under the current administration it has only become normalized.
While the Obama Justice Department wastes its time wondering if they will engage George Zimmerman in double jeopardy and violate the US Constitution’s Fifth Amendment, they aren’t worried about the clear violations of the Fourth by Homeland Security.
So far, only the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have challenged this. Now, I’m no friend of the ACLU, but on this they are right. They took a case involving a man who was actually detained within the 100 mile border area without cause.
Gucciardi writes, “Not only was this man’s laptop searched for no reason, as is ‘allowed’ under DHS code now, but they ended up finding pictures designated to be linked up with ‘terrorist’ groups. In response, the man was thrown in a cell while DHS agents went through every piece of data on his entire laptop. The ACLU is now suing over this event, but there’s no telling how the case will go with such limited media exposure. The DHS is literally gutting the Constitution and declaring itself higher than the law of the land by doing this, and it spells out major trouble for the entire Bill of Rights at large.
In 2008 Homeland Security promised to demonstrate within 120 days that what it was engaged in was constitutional. In August 2009, a year later, a report was released by, not surprisingly, the Department of Homeland Security, in which they had basically investigated themselves (that always results in the right thing) and determined that it was acting constitutionally.
Their explanation was that they weren’t actually removing the Constitution from US soil, only the border, which has now apparently moved thousands of mile well past our borders. Well they must have developed the TSA and the VIPR teams to take care of those other areas.
The State of Michigan in the U.S. is already using widespread wiretaps and roving wiretaps and unlawful evesdropping into businesses and taxicabs,buses,personal residences and restaurants without warrants,court orders or any actual constitutional authority and I for one have been personally victimized and this is ongoing 24/7 and I know that I’m not the only one being torn apart by use of electronic wizardry. It’d be nice to see the US Constitution actually work and be used for the right things and right reasons;especially the protections within The Bill Of Rights. Very interesting. Keep up the good reporting.
Yes the DHS is criminal, of that there is no question. If we were to allow Obama to investigate himself could we EVEN REMOTELY expect him to convict himself? No because that is against the 5th Amendment and the Constitution is good when they want it to be.
Expecting the DHS or any other government agency to critically investigate themselves is like expecting Monsatan to do proper testing and research on their own products. Stupid Sheeple!
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Expecting them to do the right thing would be like expecting a criminal King (like most royalty) to abdicate willfully.
I have always said , Get rid of the UN and homeland security and three quarters of our problems are solved, the fourth quarter is Obama, all our Problems are solved then. How our Senate and Congress let this happen is beyond me, everyone is working for the Rothchilds and they are not elected officials, neither are the UN, they have no rights here and can’t demand anything from us or pass laws for this country. Tear up the constitution because the UN has its own. Wake up America, we better grow a pair and do something or soon we will not be able to even type a post like ths without getting arrested. Allowing the HS to run over us like this and the UN to make illegal laws for this country shows the constitution is on its last legs, Obama should kick them out and close down the Homeland security dept, it is not working for us and Fema camps are certainly unconstitutional. Our President should be working for everyone in this country, not just a few foreigners with the illuminati, it has been going on for years, infiltrating Government and choosing all of our presidents since the beginning, Russia threw the Rothchilds out, so did Iceland, why can’t we if we are such a super power, we need a President and Government that are working for us, not the Rothchilds and the UN and The Muslim nations.The UN by the way are 85% Muslim.
