How big is CBP's jurisdiction?

score:9

Federal regulations allow the US Customs and Border Patrol to operate "anywhere within 100 miles of any US external boundary". "External boundary" includes the Canadian and Mexican borders, sea coasts and the great lakes; but it does not include airports.

The zone does include many major cities, not because airports count but because many major cities are within 100 miles of of an external boundary. About two thirds of the US population lives within the zone.

The CBP does not have the same powers in the zone that they have at the border. They cannot stop or search someone away from the border without reasonable suspicion or probable cause.

Here is an ACLU page explaining what the powers and restrictions on the CBP are within this zone., and includes a map.
