Border Patrol also stops people in the 100 mile zone to inquire about their immigration status. You can be detained or searched in this way regardless of anything having to do with a border crossing.

Big difference between "not exactly at the border" and 100 miles away from it.
Also not very helpful that the search is illegal if you haven't crossed a border and have to get relief in court against a federal agency.
No one is being searched by border patrol who hasn't actually crossed a border. There's no need for anyone to get relief.
There is no reason to be alarmist.

>who hasn't actually crossed a border
You mean like ever in their lifes? If not, some people might disagree with you:

Or you can claim that border patrol tracked these people for 75 miles and then held them up at the road block.
There is no reason to be alarmist.
