Border Patrol Checkpoints on Olympic Peninsula
U.S. Border Patrol checkpoints might get more common on the Olympic Peninsula. There was one the other day near the Hood Canal Bridge, and another one six months ago near Forks.
A Border Patrol agent said “These types of check points have proven to be successful in the past, and we are starting to utilize more checkpoints. We are expecting to begin using them frequently in and around that area, and in places in Jefferson and Clallam counties.”
He didn’t give any specifics, but another Border Patrol agent said Highway 101 north of Forks and south of Discovery Bay would be likely locations between now and mid-September.
Think these checkpoints are a good idea?
