at-gunpoint-until-border-patrol-arrives?amp_js_v=0.1

An armed right-wing militia group operating along the U.S.-Mexico border
posted several videos to social media this week, including one in which
they held about 200 asylum-seeking migrants at gunpoint near Sunland Park,
N.M., until U.S. Border Patrol agents arrived, according to a report.

The militia group, which calls itself the United Constitutional Patriots,
said it is determined to monitor the border until President Trump fulfills
his campaign promise of a border wall or until Congress enacts stronger
legislation to make it more difficult for migrants to request asylum, Jim
Benvie, a spokesman, told The New York Times in a phone interview.

“It should go without saying that regular citizens have no authority to
arrest or detain anyone,” the governor of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan
Grisham, said in a statement to The New York Times, adding that it is
“completely unacceptable” that migrants be “menaced or threatened” upon
entering the U.S.

The American Civil Liberties Union said in a statement that “the Trump
administration’s vile racism” emboldened these groups.

Carlos A. Diaz, a spokesperson for Customs and Border Protection, would
not divulge specific details about the scene in the video or about the
United Constitutional Patriots, but said in a statement that Border Patrol
“does not endorse private groups or organizations taking enforcement
matters into their own hands.”

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
