What We Are Reading Today: Nobody is Protected by Reece Jones

Reece Jones’ Nobody is Protected maps the Border Patrol’s history from its bigoted and violent Wild West beginnings through the legal precedents that have unleashed today’s militarized force, and reveals the shocking true stories and characters behind its most dangerous policies.

The book is the untold story of how, through a series of landmark but largely unknown decisions, the Supreme Court has dramatically curtailed the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution in service of policing borders.

With the Border Patrol intent on exploiting current laws to transform itself into a national police force, the truth behind their influence and history has never been more important.
