Not sure which part of 40 you’re seeing this, but many of those businesses near the Balt/Harford line employ a lot of manual labor. Construction, roofers, warehouses, etc. Also lots of little immigrant communities out there. An ICE raid wouldn’t be out of the question, even though that’s something you usually hear about at the big factories in the South and Midwest.

Another possibility - MSP and BaltCo police run regular checkpoints on truckers along that stretch of 40, stopping lots of dump trucks and small haulers. If they caught wind of some shenanigans from the port, or found a flagged immigrant in a stop, that might be Border Patrol territory.

Would CBP be there for an ICE raid though?

Isn’t it that they have immigration jurisdiction within 100 miles of a point of entry? I think they’re active near every international airport. I could be totally wrong though.

No you’re right, they do have jurisdiction within 100 miles of a US border. But I thought they’d be doing more stuff like checkpoints (similar to what they do down South) rather than operations like assisting an ICE raid. It’s totally possible it’s a multi-agency operation, I honestly have no clue how that works!
