Binkowski was stopped twice in July 2018, and told the @uspresstracker that she was alarmed by the “security theater” taking place. During the second of these stops, a supervisory officer told her that her passport had been flagged : pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/…
During @brooklynmarie’s third trip to secondary screening in Aug. 2018, she was held, questioned and searched for at least an hour, despite having been pre-approved for expedited clearance through CBP’s Global Entry, NEXUS and SENTRI programs : pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/…
Binkowski was stopped most recently in Nov. 2018, when she was returning from a reporting trip on the #migrantcaravan. It was their “mindless exercise of power,” she said, that pushed her to stop crossing the border. She hasn’t been back since : pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/…
