Eric Brakey @EricBrakey If Trump wins NH by a single vote today, you will be glad I moved and declared my primary residence in NH. Reply #Eric Brakey @EricBrakey I was detained by Border Patrol and Customs Eric Brakey @EricBrakey I was detained by Border Patrol and Customs for 90 minutes coming back from a @RoyalCaribbean cruise today in Florida. After they rifled through all my belongings, read my personal journal, and confiscated my phone and computer, I had to explain to them that the @FreeStateNH is a non-violent, peaceful libertarian movement that builds community, culture and political change. We were invited to New Hampshire in the early 2000s by the Governor of the state. We reject violence as a path to creating change. In detail, I had to explain the nature of the Defend the Guard movement and assure them that I was not part of a violent extremist group seeking to raise a militia for insurrection against the government. At one point during my detention, I asked for clarification on what rights I had here as a U.S. citizen and was told that they did not need a warrant for anything in my possession, including all my electronic devices. They eventually let me go. Truth be told, I am shaken up and in shock right now.
A month ago, #EricBrakey lauded #NewHampshire for protecting his “…free[dom] to be left alone (even from mandatory seat belts)”
90 minutes? Poor U.
