A militia group near the US-Mexico border detained hundreds of people this week, New Mexico's attorney general says

"My office has been informed that this week, an armed group has detained nearly 300 people near Sunland Park, New Mexico," Attorney General Hector Balderas said in a written statement."These individuals should not attempt to exercise authority reserved for law enforcement.

"They have absolutely not been authorized by our office or any other. We are actively working with the AG's Office, state police and local police to determine what has gone on and what can and will be done," said Tripp Stelnicki, a spokesman for the governor."That migrant families might be menaced or threatened in any way, shape or form is completely unacceptable.

Make America great again.

It is called ‘border control’, and they were doing their job as they should be doing. Good for them !

But no one seems to care that Mexican troops have pointed weapons at US soldiers, disarming the US servicemen and detaining them, on US soil.

citizens arrest of illegals

Awesome! 🇺🇸🏠🇺🇸 KAG

This is good. But also could turn very ugly very fast. It shines a light that Americans are understanding the threat of illegals. They are fed up with a congress that does nothing but whine about trump all day. More groups like this will probably pop up.

I completely agree they should not be detaining them. They should just leave them laying right where they fall.

Liberal logic, pathetic...

Since government is not acting, then Militia is the answer

Most call it doing the job our government isn't being allowed to do.

The 'ACLU' should take care of all these people they have fault with how others handle them....

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Emphasis on security of a free state

Good JOB!!! It's not about race, it's about following our laws. It's like the DA's that support the illegal aliens don't pay taxes. It's your money too!!

They would.

Kidnapping? Can those who want illegal immigrants to get into the US without stopping them, foot the bill for their housing, food, healthcare, etc.? The rest of US citizens can then have a bit more in their pockets, to make a better living.

Congress won't act, the government can't act, and the President is faced with legal challenge for trying to act. The only way is for the people to act. If people are carrying out illegal acts, can there be a citizen arrest? Is this not an example of citizen arrest?

'A militia group near the US-Mexico border kidnapped hundreds of people this week.' Fixed it for, ya.

If our elected officials were doing their jobs, American citizens wouldn’t have to protect our borders. I applaud them for doing what’s right and protecting our land.

This is wrong..

Give them all bus tickets to Sacramento instead!

in many states ... if a police officer does not see the crime happen they have the citizen who was harmed have them tell them thier under citizens arrest .. and then the police take them into custody.

No. Its called an invasion. We cant just allow people to stroll across our borders undocumented.. Entering our country illegally is a CRIME!! And a threat to our security.

And there is no border crisis? Cmon man.....

We can NOT kidnap or seperate babies from their families! Make sure this never happens again. We need to vote out ALL GOPTraitors /Senate Republicans so next time we can actually impeach an IllegitimatePresident vote them out in 2020: Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham DitchMitch

Heros

Great work!

Lol 'militia' a bunch of old fat dudes pretending to be soldiers...

Liberalism is a mental disorder

Are they providing food and shelter for these people and healthcare, if not isn't that a humanitarian crime ?

It’s a real problem and the liberals don’t help the situation when they ignore the concerns and downplay the ongoing situation. We need to meet halfway somehow to address this before things like this - militia groups/vigilantes- really get out of hand.

senschumer speakerpelosi SenKamalaHarris SenFeinstein DO YOUR JOB Stop the CRISIS caused by our open border. BuildTheWall fix the laws.

The ACLU is a left wing political group dedicated to making money and paying their executive large sums to sew discord.

America calls CNN fake hack news

Eat shit tyrants. Those dudes have my respect. We need more like them.

Just random people? That’s terrible!

That's illegal for them to do that's a crime under the law it's called unlawful imprisonment they're not law enforcement they're not allowed to detain people only the border patrol has the right to detain people.

Guess the ACLU has not read the constitution

LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP!

ACLU is a joke .... Good to see someone doing the job democrats in Congress won't

It's called citizen's arrest. The Mockingbird media loves to vilify the Constitutional militia- which by the way gave birth to this nation- FAKE PROPAGANDA 'news' did not. Well done. Only enemies of our nation would oppose anyone insisting law enforcement in this way.

I call it self defense.

More lawlessness this administration created. More reason to impeach.

Good. If the ACLU hates it.....then it must be great for America.

Maybe we need to build, oh I don’t know, a wall.

Thus can’t be allowed to happen.

Whats considered a well regulated militia.

We have a right to defend the USA from an invasion of IA's. Real immigrants immigrate legally.

so you want them in but u don't care hopeless American living in street in California This highest degree of stupidity

Fun fact: any person can detain someone they suspect of having committed a crime, and hold such person until law enforcement arrives. This obviously exposes a person to risk and it’s not always recommended. But it is, in fact, perfectly legal.

They are good samaritans for patrolling the border, it’s a dangerous job. :)

They all should be arrested...How is kidnapping any better of a crime people?
