Militia Threatens To Block Border Traffic In Texas
Freedom Outpost
We reported some time back that militia groups setup a command center in Texas in response to the flood of illegal immigrants pouring across the US/Mexico border. Last night, new broke that the militia had threatened to block ports of entry in the Rio Grande Valley area.
The militia group referred to as “Secure Our border – Laredo” is calling on members to guard private property voluntarily along the Rio Grande to help protect some of the residents from drug cartels and gang members, as well as illegal immigrants seeking to cross over into the US.
KRGV reports:
In Starr County, international bridge authorities met with Customs and Border Protection officials Thursday. Their goal was to discuss the potential problem and find a plan of action.
Starr County has international bridges in Rio Grande City, Roma and Falcon Dam.
Officials received word that members of a militia plan to protest illegal crossings by blocking traffic on Sept. 20.
Rio Grande City Mayor Ruben Villarreal said members of the group have a right to express their opinion. His is concerned about the group’s intent, though.
“What can we expect? I don’t know. The unknown becomes an issue that we really got to prepare for,” Villarreal said.
“I’m a 100 percent sure that with the National Guard, with DPS, with Border Patrol and local law enforcement, we’ll communicate and we’ll handle whatever comes,” he said.
“The level of communication that exists doesn’t get talked about enough. It’s an extraordinary amount of communication,” Villarreal said.
Villarreal said he was worried about safety.
“If they’re here to block traffic, to be a hindrance between traffic and the port of entry, that causes a problem. It’s a huge safety issue,” Villarreal said.

IF Law enforcement (And I use that term Loosely in this case) was doing their job and enforcing the law these militia and individuals would feel no need to be present on the Border! DHS and Obama Administration ignoring the law and issuing Illegal Orders to Violate the Law and Stand Down are THE CAUSE for these Patriots being there! When the winter surge begins later this month or in Oct. things are going to get worse if the Government doesn’t begin obeying the law! As the Police Chief back East said…”If the Government won’t obey the law then why should we!”
To address another statement in the article. If ANY Border Patrolman shoots at me while I am engaged in Lawful Activity near the Border, they can expect a swift and aggressive reaction in return!!! Self defense applies whether they are wearing a Badge or not! ESPECIALLY since they have been instructed to NOT Shoot!
