VANCOUVER — A whistleblower has written a damning email about a recent U.S. crackdown at the border. The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officer, who works on the front lines, wishes to remain anonymous for fear of being fired.In the email sent to immigration lawyer Len Saunders, he wrote that recent immigration policy in the Seattle field office is “not in line with the INA (Immigration and Nationality Act) or past government practice.”The insider explained what, he says, is behind the recent increase in the number of “expedited removals” – five-year bans from entering the United States – being issued at the border between British Columbia and Washington state.
