'Live free or die' is a now joke in New Hampshire.

WOODSTOCK, NH — Federal authorities on Friday conducted an immigration checkpoint on Interstate 93 in Woodstock in Northern New Hampshire — the second such checkpoint in the state this year. The checkpoint was conducted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and extended to Saturday and Sunday. A Twitter user who said he was stopped at the checkpoint called it a "stupid waste of time." A customs official, on the other hand, called it a "critical enforcement tool."
The checkpoint was held on the southbound side of I-93, one of the state's major highways on the route to and from Canada. Woodstock is about 100 miles from the Canadian border.
Congressional candidate Justin O'Donnell shared a Facebook Live video (shown below) as he drove through the checkpoint. The video shows O'Donnell declining to answer some of the border patrol agents' questions and objecting to the checkpoint because it was "nowhere near" the Canadian border. A border agent disagreed.
"I don't know if you're a citizen," the agent tells O'Donnell. "I don't know if you're a terrorist."
O'Donnell was eventually allowed to drive off.
