Thinking about the moment earlier today in #Sarita #Texas at CBP checkpoint, about 85-100 miles from the US-Mexico border, depending on map. It was on US Highway 77. CBP agent asked the routine question, Are you a citizen of the US? I refused to answer.
He asked again. I told him that I didn't need to answer, He asked me again, I said I am not answering.

His supervisor came and asked me what I do. I said I was a journalist. He asked me where I was born. I said that I don't have to answer that. I know my rights.
(As I talked with the CBP agents, I was every aware of my privilege, unlike others who don't have that privilege).
