US Supreme Court rules against Blaine innkeeper

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against a Blaine innkeeper, the only ruling released Wednesday.

Robert Boule, who owns the bed-and-breakfast Smuggler’s Inn in Blaine, Washington, alleged a border patrol agent had pushed him to the ground in 2014, and after he had complained to the agent’s supervisors, the agent reported him to the IRS.

Boule would later file a grievance with Egbert’s supervisors and an administrative claim with the Border Patrol.

Egbert allegedly retaliated by reporting Boule’s “SMUGLER” license plate to Washington’s Department of Licensing for referencing illegal activity and calling the IRS to prompt an audit of Boule’s finances.
