NEW: US officials made list of reporters, lawyers, activists to question at the border, according to documents obtained by nbcsandiego and interviews with people on the list.
A sample of names and photos from the list. KNSD blurred the names and photos of individuals who haven't given permission to publish their information.The list includes 10 journalists, seven of them U.S. citizens, a U.S.-based attorney and others labeled as organizers and"instigators," 31 of whom are American.
In response to a KNSD question about the list, a spokesman for CBP said it is protocol to"collect evidence that might be needed for future legal actions." One lawyer from the list who was recently stopped at a San Diego-area crossing, Nicole Ramos, refugee director for Al Otro Lado, a law center for migrants in Tijuana, Mexico, learned from NBC News that CBP had compiled a dossier of information on her. The dossier included personal details such as her mother’s name, her social media pictures, the car she drives and her work and travel history.
"It has a real chilling effect on people who might go down there. I was going to go this week, but I had to worry about whether I could get back in [to the U.S.]," one lawyer speaking on the condition of anonymity told NBC News.
