Border Patrol agents’ authority is derived from §235 and §287 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) of June 27, 1952, as codified in Title 8, United States Code (USC), §1225 and §1357. respectively. Additionally, the Commissioner of Customs and Border protection has embued Border Patrol agents with Customs enforcement authority pursuant to 19 USC §140(i). This discussion will focus on the subsections that are most relevant to ferry operations.
