This is an older article, from March, but the images are telling. When the #DonaldTrump administration began collecting migrants and asylum speakers into concentration detainment camps, the people had to give up their belongings. Shoes, toothpaste, jewelery... everything.

In #TrumpNation marching toward 1938 Germany is the name of the game.

One way of looking at it, which may or may not be correct... this is simply a pilot program to test how to confine masses of people against their will... if one uses that lens to view it from, which group is going to the chain-link fence, decommissioned Walmarts and tents next?

Compounding on that, I marked a year, year-and-a-half ago that the CBP would make a perfect "secret police." The courts have concluded that the CBP agents have carte blanche authority within 100 miles of a border, but if you take into account all ports-of-entry (airports), then something like 90% of the population in this country is now within the purview of CBP carte blanche authority.

Also ICE has had some pretty exceptional authorities that have been surprising, including seizing domain names etc

CBP is the one with the geographic jurisdictional limit you mentioned but CBP and ICE have some similarities. There are even .gov web pages that compare and contrast the two.

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
