Using data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau, the ACLU has
determined that nearly 2/3 of the entire US population (197.4 million people)
live within 100 miles of the US land and coastal borders.
The government is assuming extraordinary powers to stop and search
individuals within this zone. This is not just about the border: This "
Constitution-Free Zone" includes most of the nation's largest metropolitan
areas.
