It is possible that they are looking for illegal renters.
LOL! Brilliant!
But back on topic, the Border Patrol actually conducts interior enforcement such as task forces, highway interdiction, etc. I'm not familiar with Border Patrol in Louisiana, but here in Florida, they have a station in Orlando. That's smack in the middle of the state with no border anywhere. I would bet what the OP saw had something to do with some kind of highway transportation check/interdiction operation. I would monitor the federal VHF band for activity, as that's where they operate.
Everyone is missing one fact, your are all mostly right, there are borders in every state in the US, think on this, how many states do not have an airport? The border patrol is in everyone of them They are called CBP now. Any air port that has planes coming in from another Country has the possibility. of any ill-legal coming in or going out, You think that they might be watching for someone? Or they might have transferred some one to an airport for deportation and they just met up in a location to share paper work. My job consist of taking aliens from a cruise line that were terminated and their paperwork was been canceled by CBP for deportation. There are also several companies in the US that do this also. When we are done sometimes we are informed to meet with CBP to turn over our paper work, we could meet anywhere to do this. DO NOT ASSUME
Customs and Border Protection isn't always within 100 miles of the border. They have field stations in places like Abilene, Dallas and New Orleans.
I lived about 4 miles from the Dallas Border Patrol station (which was located in Euless, TX). They had green striped vehicles. They aren't limited to 100 miles of the border unless something changed recently.Not sure who you are replying to.
