In August, the U.S. Border Patrol set up three immigration check points on the Olympic peninsula, in which everyone gets stopped. Since then, the Border Patrol has arrested 15 suspected illegal immigrants from those checkpoints. Some people say the federal government is overstepping its authority, while others have questions. Port Townsend Mayor Michelle Sandoval has called for a public meeting on the issue, tonight (Monday) at Chimacum High School. To get details about the checkpoints KUOW's Derek Wang spoke with Mayor Sandoval and U.S. Border Patrol Spokesman Mike Bermudez.
