New Mexico militia's detaining migrants.

[Kowani]

Well, no.
Unlawful detention, or something like that.

Are they preventing them from leaving completely or are they perfectly free to go back across the border?

If I had to guess, I’d say preventing them from leaving entirely. Otherwise, there’s no point.
But, I will also admit ahead of time that I couldn’t find a source for that.

[The South Falls]

Haven't you been listening to the President? There's a crisis at the border, apparently. Huge crisis, worst ever.

No.

However, I did hear when Kevin K. McAleenan, the commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Protection said that an "unprecedented crisis" was in the works all along the entirety of the southern border.

You think people should be allowed to falsely claim to be government agents?

I fail to see anywhere in the linked article where he, or anyone, did what you are claiming here. Thought don't let pesky little facts get in the way of your well trodden and worn narrative Vass.

I mean, the militia is newsworthy, it's a leader was arrested, no?

I view it as about as newsworthy as any other countless arrests made daily of previous felons in violation of that particular law. The only reason why the news is even pushing it is because it fits whatever agenda they wish to push today.

You could say that. Though once, again, it's leaderless at this point. It shouldn't be a top-news headline, but it should be somewhere.

So you understand why criminal gangs operating on the border are newsworthy. They're going to exacerbate this unprecedented crisis.

Not everyone with a felony conviction is 'a danger to the public.'

This man clearly is.

As judged by you, or the stupid arbitrary law preventing people with felony convictions from owning guns?

[Purpelia]

To be honest as long as they don't cross the border into Mexico or do anything harmful to american citizens I don't see why what they are doing should be a crime in america. They are simply fighting against foreigners that cross their borders against the wishes of their people and government.

[Kowani]

They are doing it illegally tho.

The fact that they haven't been arrested for it says differently.

…We’re in a thread about an arrest right now.

[Ifreann]

Well, no.

Armed men telling you to stay where you are doesn't give any reasonable person the impression that they can walk away in any direction.

An arrest 100% not even related for being IN the militia.

No.

I'd say back page. Somewhere between the want adds and obituaries.

What statute backs them up?

[Saiwania]

This flow of people from South and Central America to up north, is far worse than the Ho Chi Minh trail in my mind. If this goes uninterrupted for too long, the nation is going to collapse from the inside out.

He's going around with a gun, threatening people and detaining them.

I’m calling this an Al Capone situation.

And detaining people isn't what he's been arrested for now is it?

It may be soon.

[Ifreann]

Whether he was arrested for that or for not paying traffic tickets, it clearly shows that he's dangerous.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

It may be soon.

But on the evidence provided, it isn't yet.

Correct. They may have netted him on an easier charge while they work out the legality and chance of successful prosecution.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

No it doesn't. Has he hurt anyone in his detention of these people? The government seems to be turning a blind eye to that particular crime.

That he is detaining people is itself a form of harm, and whether he has hurt anyone yet, he isn't carry a gun for decoration. What do you think happens when he tries to detain someone and they assert their right to self defence? He politely lets them go? I doubt that.

Got any source to suggest he's shot anybody?

Why do you think he has a gun?

[Scomagia]

Again, in principle there's nothing wrong with maintaining vigilance along the border and reporting illegal immigrants you see crossing to BP. Hell, it's fine to be armed when you do it. The problem arises when you confront people. Observe and report should be the gameplan, leave actual confrontation to BP.

The only problem is that people want them here....

[Loben]

Got any source to suggest he's shot anybody?

Why do you think he has a gun?

Because people own guns for the express purpose of shooting people.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

He has a right to carry on, or should have if it wasn't for the ridiculous ban on people with felony convictions owning weapons.
