A former diplomat says she was pulled aside 20-plus times crossing from Mexico into the U.S. Each time, she says, the harassment escalated. 'One time, I was told not to look at the officer in the eyes when I spoke to him.'
"I was asked if I stole my car," she says."One time, I was even accused of having counterfeit documents, as in my diplomatic passport ... I was regularly questioned on if I truly worked at the consulate in Ciudad Juarez."
In a statement, the agency calls that allegation"completely unsubstantiated." It tells NPR that Spears was pulled over a dozen times because inconsistencies with her address triggered an automatic second check. CBP says it found no evidence of officers' misconduct in Spears' case, and so there was no disciplinary action.
"I was beside myself for a couple of hours, thinking I cannot believe crap like that is still happening," he says. A State Department spokesperson who did not want to be named tells NPR that the department is taking Spears' allegations seriously, and is in talks with the CBP to"improve the experience" of diplomats at U.S. borders.
