The law explicitly states that dwellings are excluded from this authority.

As a result, within the 100-mile border zone, Border Patrol agents can take the following actions without a warrant:

  • Board and search vessels in territorial waters;
  • Board and search vehicles, trains, conveyances, or aircraft; and,
  • Enter private lands – but not dwellings – within 25 miles from an external boundary.

Soooo… are campers, RVs, and mobile homes a loophole for citizens or for the government? (I’m aware they might be handled differently from each other)

I want to say that they'd be a legal loophole in favor of the citizen.......but I think we can all guess which way the chips would fall if we were to actually try and exploit such a loophole in the current political climate.
