The 100 mile zone comes from regulations implementing the phrase "reasonable distance" in section (a)(3) highlighted provision below, which authorizes *vehicle stops* near the border. But sections (a)(1) and (2) permit all immigration officers (including Border Patrol) to question and arrest people.
![§1357. Powers of immigration officers and employees
(a) Powers without warrant
Any officer or employee of the Service authorized under regulations prescribed by the Attorney General shall have power without warrant-
(1) to interrogate any alien or person believed to be an alien as to his right to be or to remain in the United States;
(2) to arrest any alien who in his presence or view is entering or attempting to enter the United States in violation of any law or regulation made in pursuance of law regulating the admission, exclusion, expulsion, or removal of aliens, or to arrest any alien in the United States, if he has reason to believe that the alien so arrested is in the United States in violation of any such law or regulation and is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained for his arrest, but the alien arrested shall be taken without unnecessary delay for examination before an officer of the Service having authority to examine aliens as to their right to enter or remain in the United States;
(3) within a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States, to board and search for aliens any vessel within the territorial waters of the United States and any railway car, aircraft, conveyance, or vehicle, and within a distance of twenty-five miles from any such external boundary to have access to private lands, but not dwellings, for the purpose of patrolling the border to prevent the illegal entry of aliens into the United States;
[Note: The phrase "within a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States" is highlighted."]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreihgl3jounswj5i3u4m6yw75ws6ri5p4x5y5bhmcfreg5epeqtef4q@jpeg)

This is not accurate. The 100-mile zone is where CBP has heightened authorities, but the agency is authorized to operate anywhere within the country.
Just a reminder, CBP is legally authorized to operate no further than 100 air miles from a border.
Shouldn't be long before a lawsuit can be filed against them for violating that legislative restriction.

No, definitely not; admin is pitching this as no big deal, just some reshuffling of personnel.
So is Homan out ?

Pulling this into the main thread because you flagged an underappreciated part of this (which Bill Melugin touches on).
Homan, despite being a blowhard, prefers targeted enforcement. Lewandowski and Bovino want MASS deportations and don't care about who they get -- and they won this fight.

Bill Melugin got more details but Anna G. at the Examiner broke the story. Worth noting also that Bill is clearly telegraphing the message that the rank and file at ICE are NOT happy about this.
This is going to be a good time for reporters to get inside stories from disgruntled ICE staff.

I think it's extremely noteworthy that the reporter breaking this is Fox's Border Patrol cheerleader whose primary job is not to report news but to cast Border Patrol in a positive light
🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.
Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

While it's too soon to tell exactly how this will change ICE operationally, suffice to say that, when you combine this with the massive surge in new recruits, the institutional culture of the agency may be forever changed towards a far more aggressive, militarized posture.

Also, note that the person making all these decisions is not Secretary Noem; it's Corey Lewandowski, who is still a "special government employee" (and by many reports sleeping with Noem and running the agency while she does mostly TV), as well as Gregory Bovino himself.

THIS is the reason why I have consistently tried to emphasize that Border Patrol and ICE are different agencies with different duties and different leadership and different styles.
Border Patrol are the aggro cowboys compared to ICE. Now they're going to be the ones running the show.

NBC has a story on this as well already, and they've got an indicative quote as to how things will go:
"'The mentality is CBP does what they’re told, and the administration thinks ICE isn’t getting the job done,;' one of the DHS officials said. 'So CBP will do it." www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Other outlets are now reporting. First to report tonight was Anna Giaritelli at the Washington Examiner, whose story if anything missed how big the purge was. It's not just five cities; ICE Field Office Directors are being fired in at least a dozen cities, and will be replaced by CBP people instead.
