Regretfully, I experienced abuse and misconduct firsthand at the Piegan Port of Entry.
During a secondary inspection in April while dressed in flip flops, shorts and a light shirt, Agent Bauman (EEE7AIG) forced me to wait in the cold that lasted three hours. She even unlawfully denied me a supervisor when I requested my warm clothes. I developed a respiratory infection a day later.

Most GPS will take you along Highway 89 and ignore Highway 464 which is the most direct and shortest route into the St. Mary Valley/ Glacier National Parkseastern hub/ Port of...
