The ACLU against The Minuteman Project

Even prior to April first the Minuteman project had become a smashing success. They mobilized Arizona immigration officials into awareness of their presence. They mobilized thousands of people into volunteering their time and money to hold a functional protest on border security. They stirred to ACLU into wild accusations that held no water. They even frightened the Mexican military into defending their borders from a potential American attack.

It is the ACLU though, that has created problems. They have continually harassed the Minutemen on several occasions and are potentially guilty of assault and harassment as well as aiding illegal immigration, if reports ring true. Take this statement by one of the minutemen as this local club reports:

The ACLU is getting desperate to get something on the Minutemen and are trying to provoke incidents now. They pushed one of the Minutemen the other night trying to get him to push back. Didn’t work. Then last night they walked up and shined a spotlight right in a Minuteman’s face from six inches or so away. Didn’t work that time either. We immediately report these types of contacts with them to the Sheriff to counter any claims they try to make against us. They should be called the UCLU (Un-American Civil Lawsuit Union)

They give us the middle finger every chance they get to try to get us to react. We are still trying to figure out if that is their age or IQ.

More disturbing than that is the statements made by Grey Deacon a Minuteman spokesman:

"The ACLU's position is that illegal aliens have a right to enter our border and stay in this country as long as they want," said Deacon. "That's what one of the leaders of the group told me personally."

If this is the full stance of the ACLU, they may actually be encouraging a system that weakens our national security through means that are being touted as the biggest hole in homeland security America has.

The ACLU has been rather quick to jump the gun on reports of abuses. The image of an illegal alien holding up a tee shirt was immediately pounced on with absolutely no research into what had acutally happened. They had condemned the Minuteman project before the truth had been discovered. The reports were proven false by way of video footage provided to the local authorities by the individual being accused by the ACLU. In fact, the illegal alien pictured was donated water and money before this picture was taken.

It reads: "Bryan Barton caught me crossing the border and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."

This event has become what may be considered a free-for-all with ACLU legal observers. This Tuesday, the 19th of April some pictures were taken of some of these observers allegedly smoking marijuana. Some of the minutemen have reported seeing and smelling the incidents.

Another Journalist (Michelle Malkin)has reported that the local authorities have been informed but it is unlikely that any action will be taken.

Images of the incident have been distributed for analysis:

It has been observed that "roll your own" cigarettes, popular in some areas, are normally not "closed-end" cigarettes and resemble normal non-filtered cigarettes. Others have observed that the female in the picture is "puffing awfully hard" for a tobacco cigarette. None of this, however, provides direct evidence of unlawful narcotics usage and provides no actionable evidence.

As a clarification to the one arrest of an Army reservist illegally holding aliens at gunpoint, the individual has been proven to be outside of the Minuteman project. The Arizona local has no ties to the group and is being held on seven counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Due to the success of the project, the Minuteman Project will cease its operations 2PM Wednesday the 20th and take it's phenomenal success to Washington, D.C. The effort, however, will not be disbanded. It will continue under the Civil Homeland Defense organization until at least the end of April. It may go longer if enough support for the project is received.

If you would like to donate or volunteer to stand watch for the Minuteman Project you can contact the Civil Homeland Defense organization. They have been given control of the Minuteman Project and are encouraging expansion of the project past the immediate area of Cochise county and Arizona to other states including those that border Canada.
