Whisper Stops, Secret Lists, and No Oversight: A Civil Liberties Crisis in Plain Sight

During this episode, I critically examine a secretive U.S. Border Patrol surveillance program that monitors millions of American drivers well beyond traditional border areas. Ken explains how “suspicious” travel patterns—undefined and unregulated—are leading to detentions, “whisper stops,” and invasive questioning of law-abiding citizens. I raise urgent concerns about civil liberties, Fourth Amendment protections, and the expanding reach of domestic surveillance in everyday life.
