OPINION
BLACK, Judge.
Defendant appeals the trial court’s order denying his motion to suppress. Following the denial of his motion to suppress, Defendant filed an application for interlocutory appeal. The issue on appeal is whether, following a brief visual inspection of a vehicle and limited questioning regarding the occupant’s residency and citizenship at a fixed immigration patrol checkpoint near the border, further detention may properly be based on reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. We hold reasonable suspicion is the proper standard, and affirm.
