The war has been brought to us. So much for fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq and Syria, etc, etc, etc to keep the terrorists from us. Not working so very well!

The density of a right wing mind is awesome..

You find a group of thugs doing what you wish you could do and yell Y epee.. about it..

the fact is they are cowards, who were hoods/ski masks like ISIS does.. they hide identity and make treats to unarmed refugees while holding guns on them..

Only fools would support those who wish to end the laws of our nation to satisfy the loathing they feel for someone not like them..

Larry Mitchell Hopkins, 69, is a member of an armed group that had reportedly detained migrants near Sunland Park, New Mexico, state Attorney General Hector Balderas said in a statement.
Hopkins -- also known as Johnny Horton Jr. -- was arrested on felony charges of being in possession of firearms and ammunition, according to a statement from the FBI's Albuquerque field office.

Videos show armed men in masks, fatigues
Various private militia groups -- often espousing anti-immigrant views -- have patrolled the border for years, but it's rare to see footage of an armed group detaining migrants on the US side of the border.
Videos purported to show members of the group detaining migrants, including families with children, who have just crossed the border.
CNN has reached out to the group and the individuals who posted the videos for comment but has not confirmed details about who shot the videos, or when and where they were recorded.
In the footage, people wearing full military fatigues can be seen with handguns strapped to their sides, wearing gloves and black face masks. Armed men order the migrants to stop, force them to sit on the ground and then appear to call Border Patrol to pick the migrants up.
In at least two videos posted on the group's Facebook page, a man in fatigues verbally identifies himself as "Border Patrol" when stopping a group of migrants.
A US Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman declined to comment on the United Constitutional Patriots and the online videos, but said the agency "does not endorse or condone private groups of organizations taking enforcement measures into their own hands."

Deer Lord! Another one willing to aid and abet criminals rather than supporting his fellow citizens. What a disgrace!

Did you forget the oath you took?

I wish we could get out from those Islam lands. Instead of funding those wars, leave those violent Islam alone to kill each other. Unless they come and bomb us. We must chase them wherever they run.

We must seal our borders so secured that NO terrorists or drug dealers, convicts and criminals could enter illegally. In addition, transfer all those soldiers fighting the Muslims, along the US borders.

Never allow anybody to come illegally.
We must require them to follow the law, enter the narrow gate to allowing only legitimate alien applicants go to the right protocol following the law.

That all happened AFTER they were unlawfully detained by the militia, what excuses the militia's actions prior to that? Two wrongs don't make a right.

permafrost Loc: Minnesota

No, but those gun waving thugs have no idea what that is about..

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

So nothing new from the seditious left?

Just ignore the "ILLEGAL ALIENS"??

After all, you non-loyal legal residents lust after the illegal vote!

The Critical Critic Loc: Turtle Island

Of course it all happened after... if the illegal border jumpers stayed on their side of the border in the first place, there’d be no reason to detain them. What prior actions are you referring to?

The Critical Critic Loc: Turtle Island

Nonsense. They are all former military and law enforcement, they know exactly what it is all about. And nobody was waving any guns around, leave out the hyperbole.

send them some bet they have a change of heart when their health system tanks in less than 6 months and their budget disappears taking care of them that's what happened here when we got a wave they took this town to the cleaners don't know what happened but we haven't seen any in several years guess they moved on

Citizens can not detain someone for what they MAY do, only what they HAVE done. Citizens can not detain someone on a misdemeanor unless it is disturbing the peace and simply crossing the border illegally does not qualify as disturbing the peace by itself. Again I say, two wrongs don't make a right.

By what I have seen of the crazy whack jobs that join up with these militias... Let's just say the ones I have met, they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a gun or even other people for that matter. They were likely disturbing the peace far more than any of the border crossers.

The Critical Critic Loc: Turtle Island

I agree. Once they were found to have crossed the border illegally, they were detained. Not before they crossed because that would be illegal and in violation of international law, meaning the militia group would have had to detain these migrants on Mexican soil, and that didn’t happen.

But it does constitute a misdemeanor in and of itself. Then the manner in which the illegal border jumpers behaved after committing that misdemeanor, constituted further misdemeanors, the very ones I checked off in my previous post, which do qualify as a breach of the peace, easily articulated in a court of law, sustained with video evidence. To wit the subjects can be lawfully detained.

Without the original wrong, there would be no perceived second wrong.

Your biased opinion is noted. Unsubstantiated, but noted.
