A Washington state ferry worker has denounced the Border Patrol for using a plainclothes agent to monitor activity at the Anacortes ferry terminal, the same location where the federal agency has been widely criticized for conducting security spot-checks of domestic ferry runs.
John Norby, who works at the terminal directing traffic, said a plainclothes Border Patrol officer approached him in April and asked him if he’d be interested in sharing “intelligence.”
“This is a federal police force asking civilians to inform on civilians,” Norby said this week.”*
