New Location for Border Patrol

The Border Patrol is planning to lease two acres at the northeast corner of Fey Road and Highway 101 in western Port Angeles. This will be their new headquarters. It will be a “modular border patrol station.”

The Border Patrol now has twenty-four agents. Just two years ago there were only four of them.

And speaking of the Border Patrol, there will be a demonstration tomorrow by the Stop the Checkpoints Committee. It’ll be at 1 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Park in Port Angeles.

Committee leaders include Lois Danks, Diana Somerville and Paul Richmond. They’re hoping that tomorrow’s rally will help gather signatures for an anti-checkpoints petition.
