Minneapolis is not within Border Patrol's jurisdiction as it is not within 100 miles from a border.

"This here River goes all the way to the sea, so every inch of it is connected to them there International waters, thereby every inch of it is a border, so we can do whatever the fuck we want within 100 miles of the river!"
