Can one get information about US federal misdemeanor citations?
<p><a href="https://www.nhpr.org/post/border-patrol-checkpoint-woodstock-yields-alleged-immigration-violations" rel="nofollow noreferrer">According to New Hampshire Public Radio</a>, in June 2019,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Officials with U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued tickets to 29 people for alleged immigration violations at a checkpoint on I-93 near Woodstock on Sunday.</p>
<p>The violations were for legal visitors to the U.S. who didn’t have appropriate paperwork on them, as required by law, accordign [sic] to the CBP.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Will there be any information in the public record concerning these citations?  I suspect that they allege violations of <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1304#e" rel="nofollow noreferrer">8 USC 1304(e)</a>.  Is there any way to confirm that?</p>
<p>Nine years ago, <a href="https://thinkimmigration.org/blog/2010/06/03/i-have-read-the-arizona-law-and-it-still-stinks/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">an article on the American Immigration Lawyers Association's blog</a> stated that &quot;a search of court records reveals no prosecutions federally for this offense.&quot;  If the federal government has started trying to enforce that statute after not having done so for some long period of time, it seems like it should be big news.</p>

<p>Yes, but it's expensive.</p>

<p>Federal court records -- including misdemeanor citations -- are available through <a href="https://www.pacer.gov" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PACER</a>.</p>
