Man detained for 19 days because he declined to answer questions at an illegal checkpoint

TX – Greg Rosenberg immigrated to America 10 years ago from Armenia. Memories and family stories of Soviet rule in his country of origin infused him with strong political beliefs and a reverence for individual rights.

“Back then in Soviet-controlled Armenia, if you complained about the government, they took you to Siberia,” says Rosenberg.

So perhaps it’s no surprise that Rosenberg is a checkpoint protester. As a long-haul trucker, he has to drive through these all the time. After all, there are about 170 of them scattered across the United States. And keep in mind, these checkpoints aren’t on an actual border. They just have to be within 100 miles of one. The ACLU estimates that roughly two-thirds of the nation’s population lives within this 100-mile zone.

Rosenberg’s ordeal began in the border town of Laredo. He and his friend pulled onto I-35 North at around midnight on September 26 in a truck carrying a load of Xerox machines destined for Ft. Worth. But only 29 miles north of the border, they’d encounter the Laredo North Border Patrol Station. And Greg would undergo a checkpoint interrogation like he’d never experienced before.

“They arrested me for what I looked like, but they pressed the charges because of my beliefs,” says Rosenberg.

  1. There you go. You DO NOT have a right to remain silent if you can be thrown in jail for exercising it.

    And lying to the police is another crime — That’s what Martha Stewart did time for. Not the insider information.

    So… if you can get locked up for remaining silent, and locked up for lying, you don’t have a right to remain silent, or a right to free expression, and you better have a story that the cops can’t disprove.

    Tell me more about our “Bill of Rights”, because although they do exist on paper, they’re mocked in practice.

  2. Again I ask this question…..WHY ARE THE MILITIAS NOT AT WAR WITH THIS COMMINIST GOVERNMENT? The Militias aren’t even in the neighborhoods recruiting! Thanks for selling us out!
