TUCSON, Arizona (PNN) - September 26, 2018 - A lawsuit filed by University of Arizona engineer Terry Bressi is the latest round in an ongoing battle that border residents have been waging against the fascist Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and its “citizenship checkpoints”.
Just before July 4, Terry Bressi filed a revision to his complaint against the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD).
In April 2017 Bressi was detained for hours at the CBP SR 86 checkpoint, located halfway between Tuscon and the Kitt Peak National Observatory where Bressi works.
Bressi is no stranger to both CBP and PCSD, both having stopped and detained him on multiple occasions since 2002.
Despite the fact that Bressi is known to both organizations as a Fascist Police States of Amerika citizen with no history of smuggling or other criminal activity, they continued to detain the man.
Why the random constant stops and harassment? Because Bressi has dared to challenge the legality and legitimacy of domestic “Constitution-free” checkpoints on Amerikan citizens.
Bressi first filed a lawsuit in 2002 against the Tono O’Odham tribal terrorist pig thug cops and CBP for a stop that turned into a multi-hour detention without any probable cause. The tribal terrorist pig thug cops eventually settled the case for $210,000.
However, Bressi’s victory came with pitfalls through the efforts of the CBP union to get him fired from his job.
The PCSD and CBP have continued targeting Bressi for stops and de-facto illegal, roadside detentions, with the latest incident occurring in April 2017, a trigger to his current lawsuit.
Bressi estimates he has been stopped at the Border Patrol checkpoint on State Route 86 near Three Points more than an absurd 400 times, because he can’t avoid the checkpoint on his way home from working at Kitt Peak.
This type of behavior by Border Patrol agents harassing FPSA citizens is sadly not rare; in fact, it seems to be quite common. It is worrying, to say the least.
In March of this year, a man was harassed for standing up against Border Patrol by filing a lawsuit after he discovered that Border Patrol agents had illegally placed a camera on his property that gave them access to 24/7 surveillance of his land. That wasn’t all; they threatened to arrest him if he did not comply and return their camera that was placed on his fence.
Then in July, there was an altercation between a Mexican Border Patrol officer, Joel Lopez, impersonating a terrorist pig thug cop and pulling over a Mexican doctor, Christian Hernandez, an hour within the border without a radar detector present in his vehicle, claiming the man was speeding during what he claimed was an “immigration inspection”.
Subsequently, Hernandez claimed that he just passed him on the highway when the federal agent followed him and Hernandez started recording Lopez.
This all may be due to the fact that at least 5,000 Border Patrol agents are being outsourced to Accenture, an international contractor.
Last year the agency struggled to fill positions after failing to bring on more border agents than it loses in a given year, according to a report that was released by the Amerikan Gestapo Department of Homeland Security division.
However, another report by the Washington Times contradicts this claim by stating that the decrease in border crossings has surged back to Obama-era levels.
DHS announced a 14% increase over the number of people it brought on the previous year. Most of those hires were for CBP officer positions, which saw a 21% spike in recruiting efforts.
The Border Patrol apprehended 311,000 individuals in fiscal 2017, and CBP officers rejected 216,000 inadmissible cases, totaling nearly a 24% decline from the previous year.
The Amerikan Civil Liberties Union has filed multiple complaints in recent years for people concerned about treatment at checkpoints.
