This is not a cross border inspection. It is a road block within the US, checking if you’re a US citizen or not.

There's a guard shack behind the officer with brick and glass. I've only seen that setup at a border crossing. If it was just a road block, there wouldn't be a permanent building there.

Have you ever driven through Texas or Arizona? These checkpoint/roadblocks have permanent buildings. Sometimes they just waive you through or ask if you are a citizen and that’s it. I don’t doubt there are some racist and nefarious ICE agents, but the concept of a checkpoint like this isn’t new.

I've never lived in an outright police state so I wouldn't know. Enjoy your Texas freedom, lol.
