This is just ridiculous.

Last week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers arrested 74-year old Canadian citizen, grandmother, and healthcare support worker Homenella Cole.

The charge? Possession of marijuana. Twenty-nine years ago. Cole was in her mid-forties at the time.

Is this really the most important thing border patrol agents could be doing with their time?
