Plus there is such a thing as probable cause, and warrants and last time I checked neither the language you speak or your skin tone constitute justification of those by themselves. Otherwise we need to start profiling all white people because some murder abortion doctors and shoot up theaters.

Yep, she had the right to stay silent in protest. With that right came the detainment until verification.
When I'm driving and get pulled over I have the right not to show my driver license, insurance and registration in protest. I'm positive the the enforcement entity will detain me until they can verify. Yet I'm a free citizen. Is this scenario harassment?
Yea well ratio wise, black and brown people get pulled over at a far higher rate and it is not because they are committing a higher ratio of crime per capita. They are not.
OK Brian, tell me about probable cause, and warrants at a border patrol checkpoint? What are the laws/conditions? I'll bet the only "cause" is that you are crossing a checkpoint and no warrants are required.
Did you watch the vid, she appears to be white, some of the agents do not. This is not an issue of race (goal post mover) but the requirements to pass thru a checkpoint. That's your chronic victim thinking coming thru.
She chose to drive thru the checkpoint, my guess is she knew the requirements. She was shown the requirements (in the vid). Could she have driven another way and avoided the checkpoint, maybe.
Or is this white privilege rearing it's ugly head? Definite maybe. I didn't see her taking a stand about the other people being stopped and questioned at the same time as her. Wonder why that was?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
