NEW: Armed group that detained migrants at US border in New Mexico ordered to leave their camp site; have been peacefully escorted out.
Locally, it is the site of pilgrimages for the faithful to a 29-foot statue of Jesus with outstretched arms that looms from atop Mount Cristo Rey over the place along the border where migrants collide with Americans intent on stopping what they see as an “invasion.”
Diana Casillas, 23, rents a trailer near the border. Speaking in Spanish, she told NBC News she would like to see more security “because you don’t know what kind of people are coming in.” When asked if she agreed with building a wall, she said she didn’t think it would do anything. “They would still be coming through.”
"Witnesses reported seeing members of the United Constitutional Patriots bearing firearms at Hopkins' residence," the complaint said. Striker, who goes by an alias to protect his identity, the leader of Constitutional Patriots New Mexico Border Ops militia Team, smokes a cigarette outside the team's camper near the US-Mexico border in Anapra, New Mexico, on March 20.Hopkins said at the time that he had gathered a team of"patriots" to travel to the southern border to stop the migrants, according to the SPLC.
Simonson said the ACLU and other local immigration advocates had thought the militia members were a “rag tag group” out for weekend excursions carrying out their frustrations over the current immigration problems.
