The country has also faced political tensions at the top.

An attempt to topple the prime minister last year resulted in a protracted constitutional crisis that threatened to break into violence. For a brief period, the country had two declared prime ministers at the same time.

President Maithripala Sirisena fired the prime minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, last October. In his stead, he appointed the former president and strongman Mahinda Rajapaksa.

When it became clear that Mr. Rajapaksa did not have enough votes in Parliament to make him prime minister, Mr. Sirisena dissolved the body.

The two-month crisis brought the country to a standstill. Clashes alternated between the streets, where thousands of supporters from each side marched, and the Parliament, where lawmakers broke into fistfights and even hurled chile powder at one another.

Mr. Rajapaksa finally backed down and Mr. Wickremesinghe remained prime minister.

Jerry Nadler issues subpoena for unredacted Mueller report

Democratic chairman of the House Judiciary Committee seeks the full special counsel report with all underlying records and grand jury material by May 1; chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge reports from Washington.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-NY, argued on Sunday that, despite Special Counsel Robert Mueller deciding not to charge President Trump with obstruction of justice, he believes there is still plenty of evidence of obstruction by the president.

Nadler, who filed a subpoena Friday for Mueller’s full, unredacted report, said that Mueller only restrained from charging Trump with obstruction of justice because of the longstanding Justice Department opinion that a sitting president can’t be indicted.

“Mueller says that although a thorough FBI investigation might very well show evidence of obstruction of justice with the president, ‘we’re not going to do that because of the Department of Justice’s legal opinion that a president, a sitting president, can’t be indicted and it would be unfair to lay out the facts justifying an indictment without giving the president the opportunity and a trial to clear his name,’” Nadler said on Sunday during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet The Press.”

NADLER REQUESTS MUELLER TESTIFY BEFORE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE ‘AS SOON AS POSSIBLE’

He added: “[Attorney General William] Barr misinterpreted that, or misrepresented that I should say, to say they didn’t find obstruction. There’s plenty of evidence of obstruction.”

Nadler expects the Justice Department to comply with his committee’s subpoena for the full report by May 1.

That’s the same day Barr is set to testify before a Senate committee and one day before he is to appear before Nadler’s panel. Nadler also has summoned Mueller to testify by May 23.

A Justice Department spokeswoman, Kerri Kupac, called Nadler’s move “premature and unnecessary.”

Barr sent Congress a redacted version of the Mueller report, blacking out several types of material, including classified information, material pertaining to ongoing investigations and grand jury evidence.

Nadler last week said he was open to working with the department on accommodations, but he also said the committee “needs and is entitled to the full version of the report and the underlying evidence consistent with past practice.”

SPECIAL COUNSEL ROBERT MUELLER’S RUSSIA PROBE REPORT RELEASED BY JUSTICE DEPARTMENT

Mueller laid out multiple episodes in which Trump directed others to influence or curtail the Russia investigation after the special counsel’s appointment in May 2017, and Trump made clear that he viewed the probe as a potentially mortal blow — “the end of my presidency.”

Nadler on Sunday questioned why Mueller did not level charges against the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., for taking a meeting with Russian operatives in Trump Tower to allegedly get compromising information on Trump’s 2016 Democratic presidential opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“I do not understand why he didn’t charge Don Jr. and others in that famous meeting with criminal conspiracy,” Nadler said. “[Mueller] said that he didn’t charge them because you couldn’t prove that they didn’t willfully intend to commit a crime, well you don’t have to prove that.”

He added: “All you have to prove for conspiracy is that they entered into a meeting of the minds to do something and had one overt act. They entered into a meeting of the minds to attend a meeting to get stolen material on Hillary. They went to the meeting. That’s conspiracy right there.”

The New York lawmaker also added that the idea of the House impeaching the president is still on the table even as some of his Democratic colleagues in the House have warned against any premature actions.

“If proven some of this would be impeachable yes. Obstruction of justice, if proven, would be impeachable,” Nadler said. “We’re going to see where the facts lead us.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has insisted on a methodical, step-by-step approach to the House’s oversight of the Trump administration, and she refuses to consider impeachment without public support, including from Republicans, which seems unlikely.

Speaking Friday in Belfast as Pelosi wrapped up a congressional visit to Ireland, she declined to signal action beyond Congress’ role as a check and balance for the White House.

“Let me assure you that whatever the issue and challenge we face, the Congress of the United States will honor its oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States to protect our democracy,” she told reporters. “We believe that the first article — Article 1, the legislative branch — has the responsibility of oversight of our democracy, and we will exercise that.”

Impeachment is warranted if charges against Trump are proven, Nadler says – The Boston Globe
Impeachment is warranted if charges against Trump are proven, Nadler says – The Boston Globe



WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee chairman said the evidence of obstruction by President Donald Trump detailed in the special counsel’s report is impeachable if proven.

Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York chairs the House committee that would hold impeachment proceedings. He said it’s up to Congress to investigate the 10 allegations of Trump’s attempts to obstruct the Russia investigation that special counsel Robert Mueller laid out but left open whether Trump broke the law.

Asked whether the offenses are impeachable, Nadler told NBC, ‘‘If proven, some of this would be impeachable, yes.’’ He said Democrats’ focus is to ‘‘go where the evidence leads us.’’

Democratic leaders are under pressure from the party’s rising stars and some presidential contenders to start impeachment proceedings. House Democrats will confer Monday on next steps.

Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s attorney, vigorously defended Trump, saying he was framed and calling for an investigation into the Mueller probe. Giouliani also spoke on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

FBI arrests leader of armed group stopping migrants in New Mexico – Reuters
FBI arrests leader of armed group stopping migrants in New Mexico – Reuters

TAOS, N.M. (Reuters) – The FBI on Saturday said it had arrested Larry Hopkins, the leader of an armed group that is stopping undocumented migrants after they cross the U.S.-Mexico border into New Mexico.

The arrest came two days after the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) accused the group of illegally detaining migrants and New Mexico’s Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham ordered an investigation.

Hopkins, 69, also known as Johnny Horton, was arrested in Sunland Park, New Mexico, on a federal complaint charging him with being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement.

“We’re not worried about it, he’s going to be cleared,” said Jim Benvie, a spokesman for the United Constitutional Patriots (UCP), blaming his arrest on political pressure from Lujan Grisham.

Hopkins is the “national commander” of the UCP, which has had around half a dozen members camped out on a rotating basis near Sunland Park since late February.

PATRIOTS OR FASCISTS?

The UCP describes itself as a “patriot group” helping U.S. Border Patrol cope with record numbers of Central American families crossing the border to seek asylum.

Dressed in camouflage and carrying rifles, UCP members have helped U.S. Border Patrol detain over 5,600 migrants in the last two months, Benvie said. Videos posted online by the group show members telling migrants to stop, sit down, and wait for agents to arrive. Critics accuse the UCP of impersonating law enforcement.

Crowdfunding sites PayPal and GoFundMe on Friday barred the group, citing policies not to promote hate or violence, after the ACLU called the UCP a “fascist militia.”

“Today’s arrest by the FBI indicates clearly that the rule of law should be in the hands of trained law enforcement officials, not armed vigilantes,” New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas said in a statement of Hopkins’s arrest.

Hopkins was previously arrested in Oregon in 2006 on suspicion of impersonating a police officer and being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

NO STANDOFFS

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a statement it did not support citizens taking law enforcement into their own hands and instead encouraged the public to be its eyes and ears on the border.

Benvie said the UCP was doing just that and had the support of local Border Patrol and police.

Mostly military veterans, UCP members carry weapons for self defense and at no time pointed guns at migrants, as they have been accused of, Benvie said.

Despite having funding sources cut off, Benvie said the group’s online support had swelled since it came under attack this week. Its Facebook followers have more than doubled since Thursday.

Asked what the group would do if told to leave by state police, Benvie said they would probably go and, if they felt the order violated their constitutional rights, sue the state of New Mexico.

“There’s not going to be any standoffs, this isn’t the Bundy Ranch,” Benvie said, in reference to a 2014 armed confrontation in Nevada.

People were getting carried away about the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, one Catholic bishop felt. “Some commentators are reading, imposing, waaaaay too much spiritual significance into the Notre Dame fire,” Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, R.I., wrote on Twitter in the middle of Holy Week. “It was a frightful event, a terrible fire, that severely damaged a spectacular, historic, sacred house of worship. Nothing more.”

Discerning and interpreting divine signs are not the typical fare of this page. Still, it’s hard not to read something more into the inferno that destroyed the 200-year-old roof on the 800-year-old cathedral, especially if you take a slightly larger perspective.

While the Notre Dame fire appears to be the result of an electrical short circuit, hundreds of French churches have been deliberately vandalized and desecrated over the past few months, according to multiple media reports. Vandals smeared human excrement on the cross in a church in Nîmes. Crosses and saint statues were smashed at a church in Lavaur. A statue of the Virgin Mary was destroyed in Houilles. Paris’s Church of St. Sulpice was set on fire on a Sunday.

This plague of deliberate attacks on churches across France, often with the clear intent to desecrate Christian holy symbols and objects, was largely ignored by the media.

Meanwhile in Louisiana, there was a terroristic campaign of church burnings. Three black Baptist churches in St. Landry’s Parish were deliberately burned in a 10-day stretch, evoking ugly memories of the Jim Crow era. The suspect, since caught, is a racist, white male.

So, when on Monday Notre Dame’s roof caught fire, and at the same time a blaze broke out in Jerusalem’s venerated Al-Aqsa Mosque, you’d have be quite the skeptic not to divine some sort of a message. It seemed as though God was telling us all, “Look! My house is crumbling.”

Alongside the destruction of church buildings is the crumbling of the church as a collection of worshippers.

Only half of all American adults belong to a religious congregation (Muslim, Christian, or Jewish), according to a Gallup survey published on Holy Thursday. That is a precipitous decline: As recently as 1998, the portion was 70%.

Behind this drop-off is more than a doubling of the irreligious (from 8% to 19%), an increase of the religiously unaffiliated, and a decrease of attendance among even those who belong to a specific faith.

America is becoming unchurched.

Church leaders have worried about this crisis for years, as it has slowly unfolded. But secular leaders and commentators should worry about this, too.

Secularization strikes many liberal commentators as progress, but the social science suggests that, especially for the working class and middle class, those without church are in bad shape.

Churchgoing, synagogue-going, and mosque-going adults are less likely to divorce and less likely to abuse their spouses. Churchgoing families are more likely to eat dinner together and have family activities. Churchgoing kids do less drugs and more sports. People who go to church weekly are far more likely to report being “very happy.” Going to church even correlates with living longer, it seems.

If people are falling away from religious congregations, that’s a bad thing.

The causes of this trend are many. Of course, modern technology, secular crusades against public displays of religion, and popular culture are culprits. So is a broader alienation and deinstitutionalization of life in America. But the churches cannot escape blame for their decreased draw: The Catholic Church is still refusing to reckon with its abuse scandals, and many churches have become nearly secular, emphasizing the political or the popular instead of the sacred.

Maybe the fires at Notre Dame Cathedral and Al-Aqsa Mosque weren’t messages from the almighty. Nevertheless, this Easter, it wouldn’t hurt for us to take stock of the worldwide crumbling of the church.

    Egypt votes in referendum aimed at extending Sisi’s rule to 2030 – Al Jazeera English
    Egypt votes in referendum aimed at extending Sisi’s rule to 2030 – Al Jazeera English

    Egyptians began voting in a three-day referendum on proposed constitutional amendments that could see President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi‘s rule extended to 2030.

    State television on Saturday showed images of Sisi casting his ballot at a polling station in the eastern suburb of Heliopolis.

    Egypt‘s parliament on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly in favour of the changes, which include allowing the general-turned-president to extend his current term by two years and stand for another six-year-mandate, potentially extending his rule until 2030.

    Prominent Egyptian newspaper columnist Abdullah Al Sennawy decried the amendments as a threat to the country’s stability. He said they would increase the government’s grip on power and erode the balance between authorities currently in place.

    “Changing the constitution reflects the weakness of the regime. It is a sign that the regime is close to its end, such as what happened in Sudan and Algeria,” he said.


    The 596-member assembly is packed with Sisi supporters, with 531 of the 554 legislators who attended the vote opting in favour of the constitutional changes.

    Outside a polling centre near the Giza Pyramids, about two dozen people, mostly elderly women, lined up waiting to cast their votes. Heavy police and army security was reported at polling stations throughout the country.

    Haja Khadija, a 63-year-old housewife, said she came for the “security and stability” of the country. “We love el-Sisi. He did lots of things. He raised our pensions.”

    The ballot will also see voters decide on whether an upper parliamentary chamber should be created.

    Omar Ashour, director of the security studies programme at the Doha Institute, told Al Jazeera the new body would likely work to further serve the interests of the Sisi government. 

    “In a democracy, the upper house’s role is to overview the lower house, have some form of oversight and review legislation,” he said. 

    “Since the upper house was founded in 1979 by Sadat, what it did really was outbid the lower house in a competition to please the leader. It [the senate] will be a legislation of jockeying, outbidding each other and a more favourable outcome for the regime.”  


    Sisi’s government has been repeatedly criticised by human rights organisations for alleged repression of political opponents.

    ‘Contempt for rights’ 

    In a statement on Tuesday, Amnesty International said the proposed constitutional amendments would “facilitate the authorities’ crackdown on freedom of expression, association and assembly, erode people’s rights, and exacerbate the human rights crisis in the country”.

    “The decision to put these amendments to the constitution to a public referendum, amid the worst crackdown on freedom of expression and severe restrictions on political parties and independent media, demonstrates the Egyptian government’s contempt for the rights of all people in Egypt,” said Magdalena Mughrabi, Amnesty’s deputy Middle East and North Africa director.

    Sisi, 64, was re-elected in March 2018 with more than 97 percent of the vote, in a ballot boycotted by large swaths of the country’s political opposition after several potential candidates dropped out citing intimidation or were arrested.


    Only one other candidate, himself an ardent supporter of Sisi, opposed the incumbent. Mousa Mostafa Mousa had endorsed Sisi for a second term and even organised events to help nominate the former military commander up until a week before the nomination deadline.

    Eliminating the opposition 

    The election commission said last year’s vote was held according to the “highest international standards of integrity and transparency”, but rights groups including international NGO Human Rights Watch criticised the ballot as neither “free nor fair”.

    “I think you have to take votes that are held in military dictatorships with several grains of salt,” said Mohamad Elmasry, associate professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies.

    “Egypt has eliminated the opposition; it’s an environment of repression and fear. People are terrified to vote and express dissent.

    “In the lead-up to this vote, more than 120 people have been arrested for campaigning for the ‘no vote’. We have to remember there are no independent monitors so the government is free to rig the results.”

    Trump tweets 138 million killed in Sri Lanka blasts – Washington Examiner
    Trump tweets 138 million killed in Sri Lanka blasts – Washington Examiner

    President Trump offered his condolences to the victims of the deadly Sri Lanka blasts on Easter Sunday, but initially did so with a tweet that had an absurdly high death toll statistic.

    “Heartfelt condolences from the people of the United States to the people of Sri Lanka on the horrible terrorist attacks on churches and hotels that have killed at least 138 million people and badly injured 600 more. We stand ready to help!” Trump said in a tweet Sunday morning.

    He deleted the tweet 20 minutes later, replacing it with one that contained the accurate death toll estimate.

    “138 people have been killed in Sri Lanka, with more that 600 badly injured, in a terrorist attack on churches and hotels. The United States offers heartfelt condolences to the great people of Sri Lanka. We stand ready to help,” he said in the follow-up tweet.

    Trump has made gaffes on Twitter in the past — perhaps the most infamous being “covfefe” — but this one suggested roughly 2.2 percent of the world population had been killed.

    His critics were quick to pounce.

    “[Y]ou are a total fuck up,” tweeted Adam Parkhomenko, a former Democratic National Committee field director.

    “The attacks in Sri Lanka were awful. But 138 million people did not die. That’s like a nuclear holocaust situation,” said journalist Emily Singer.

    Eight bombs exploded at churches and hotels around Sri Lanka, killing at least 140 people in injured hundreds on Easter Sunday. Officials have described the blasts as a terrorist attack and blamed it on religious extremists. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.

      Dems plan conference call Monday to debate Mueller report’s implications – Fox News
      Dems plan conference call Monday to debate Mueller report’s implications – Fox News
      Video

      Will party infighting derail House Democrats’ agenda?

      House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is scheduled to hold a private conference call Monday with fellow Democrats in which the topic of the potential impeachment of President Trump will be raised.

      The planned call comes as the issue continues to divide progressive Democrats — who want Trump to face impeachment proceedings — and party leaders who warn of its political risks and backlash going into the 2020 presidential election, Bloomberg reported. The renewed push comes on the heels of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

      Pelosi last month said she opposed impeachment, calling the process divisive and saying of Trump, “He’s just not worth it.”

      SCARAMUCCI SAYS PELOSI IS ‘THE SMARTEST PERSON’ AMID DEMOCRATIC CALLS FOR IMPEACHMENT

      But in tweets this week, following the release of the Mueller report, Pelosi seemed to show a change in tone.

      “As we continue to review the report, one thing is clear,” Pelosi wrote Thursday, “AG Barr presented a conclusion that @realDonaldTrump did not obstruct justice while the #MuellerReport appears to undercut that finding.”

      Also Thursday: “The #MuellerReport paints a disturbing picture of a president who has been weaving a web of deceit, lies and improper behavior and acting as if the law doesn’t apply to him,” Pelosi wrote.

      WARREN URGES HOUSE TO BEGIN IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS ON HEELS OF MUELLER REPORT

      Mueller’s report cleared Trump and his associates of collusion with Russia but did not determine whether the president committed obstruction of justice during the investigation.

      Video

      The report outlined 10 instances of potential obstruction, reviving impeachment calls by some Democrats. Among them, the report said Trump directed then-White House Counsel Don McGahn in June 2017 to tell the acting attorney general that Mueller “must be removed.” McGahn refused.

      “The Special Counsel made clear that he did not exonerate the President. The responsibility now falls to Congress to hold the President accountable for his actions,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y. said in an April 18 written statement just after the report was released.

      President Trump, however, maintains that the Mueller report has cleared him of wrongdoing, and has underscored that view in Twitter messages.

      “The end result of the greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. political history is No Collusion with Russia (and No Obstruction). Pretty Amazing!” the president wrote Saturday.

      Another tweet was titled, “Mueller Investigation By the Numbers”:

      GINGRICH SUGGESTS NADLER’S PUSH TO FURTHER PROBE MUELLER REPORT IS AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE HIS JOB IN THE HOUSE

      Those calling for impeachment proceedings include 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who said she would endorse an impeachment resolution introduced by fellow freshman lawmaker, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.

      “Many know I take no pleasure in discussions of impeachment. I didn’t campaign on it, & rarely discuss it unprompted. We all prefer working on our priorities: pushing Medicare for All, tackling student loans, & a Green New Deal. But the report squarely puts this on our doorstep,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Thursday.

      On Saturday, Warren — who has been struggling to gain traction with voters — doubled down on her call for the House to begin impeachment proceedings.

      “I know people say this is politically charged and we shouldn’t go there, and that there is an election coming up, but there are some things that are bigger than politics,” she told an audience at Keene College in New Hampshire.

      MUELLER REPORT SHOWS PROBE DID NOT FIND COLLUSION EVIDENCE, REVEALS TRUMP EFFORTS TO SIDELINE KEY PLAYERS

      Pelosi and other Democratic leaders have tried tamping down talks of impeachment, arguing that Senate Republicans would not vote to remove Trump from office.

      Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Ill., told Bloomberg he agrees with Pelosi that a case for impeachment should be built carefully and out of a complete record.

      Video

      “Maybe we get one shot at it. Why not wait to get all of the information we can?” he said. “It doesn’t help to just keep talking about impeachment. It makes it look like you are obsessed with it.”

      Eight-term Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, began calling for impeachment even before Ocasio-Cortez and Tlaib, according to Bloomberg. He twice forced procedural votes on articles of impeachment when Republicans controlled the House. He said would press the issue again regardless of what party leaders think.

      “I will bring it to the floor for a vote if the committees do not act,” said Green. “”If we don’t step up and do our job, if we engage in some sort of analysis and debate and refuse to say the word, ‘impeachment,’ we will engage in what Dr. King called the paralysis of analysis.

      “We will do this until such time someone will say it’s too late to get into impeachment, it will appear to be political, and as a result we will then decide that this must be taken to the polls on Election Day.”

      Militia leader arrested after holding migrants at gunpoint – ABC News
      Militia leader arrested after holding migrants at gunpoint – ABC News

      The leader of a militia operating along the southern border has been arrested by the FBI days after the armed group detained over 200 migrants who had just illegally crossed into New Mexico.

      Larry Mitchell Hopkins, 69, of Flora Vista, New Mexico, was arrested Saturday on charges of being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, the FBI Albuquerque office said.

      Hopkins was arrested in Sunland Park, New Mexico, which lies right on the border with Mexico and is just 8 miles northwest of El Paso, Texas.

      (KVIA) Jim Benvie, spokesperson for The United Constitutional Patriots, speaks to El Paso, Texas, ABC affiliate KVIA about the arrest of the group’s leader, Larry Hopkins, on Saturday, April 20, 2019.

      “This is a dangerous felon who should not have weapons around children and families,” New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas said in a statement. “Today’s arrest by the FBI indicates clearly that the rule of law should be in the hands of trained law enforcement officials, and not armed vigilantes.”

      The spokesperson for the group attacked Balderas and New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham for the arrest.

      “I am confident that Mr. Hopkins will get though this, will fare well,” the militia’s spokesperson, Jim Benvie, told El Paso ABC affiliate KVIA, while wearing a red “Trump 2020” hat. “The [New Mexico] AG has declared war on American citizens at the order of the ACLU, instructing the governor, in a sense, to effectively find a reason to remove private citizens from assisting and documenting a crisis on the border. It’s really sad that she can’t use the resources of the National Guard or even the FBI, if they had to, to help protect the border. Instead, they had to infiltrate and set up our camp, and we’re confident about our position with this.

      “We’re not worried about it. It doesn’t change anything,” he added.

      Hopkins was convicted of impersonating an officer and felony gun possession in 2006, according to The Daily Beast.

      He leads a group called The United Constitutional Patriots, which states on its Facebook page that its mission is “to uphold the Constitution of The United States of America.”

      “We uphold this cause against all enemies both foreign and domestic which shall infringe upon the rights of the citizens given by the Constitution,” it says. “We are here to serve in time of need at the local and state level and if necessary for our country.”

      Benvie regularly uploads videos to his Facebook page showing the group’s actions detaining migrants.

      The group gained attention on Tuesday when it detained over 200 migrants at gunpoint after they crossed into the U.S. near Sunland Park. The group was held by the militia until U.S. Border Patrol agents responded and took them into custody.

      (AP Photo/Eric Gay) In this Nov. 3, 2018, file photo, members of the U.S. Army build a razor wire fence around area for tents near the U.S.-Mexico International bridge, in Donna, Texas.

      A spokesperson for the group told KVIA that the group never points a gun at migrants and they weren’t forced to stay.

      The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) immediately came out against the action, and blamed it on the rhetoric of the president.

      “The Trump administration’s vile racism has emboldened white nationalists and fascists to flagrantly violate the law,” the ACLU said in a statement Friday. “This has no place in our state: we cannot allow racist and armed vigilantes to kidnap and detain people seeking asylum.”

      Mexico’s Foreign Ministry released a statement on behalf of the government expressing “profound concern about the activities of intimidation and extortion of migrants by groups of militias on the New Mexico border.”

      The group wrote Friday on its Facebook page that Paypal had permanently suspended its fundraising account.

      ABC News’ Matthew Fuhrman, Ben Jimenez and Josh Hoyos contributed to this report.

      Notre Dame fire pledges inflame Yellow Vest protesters – Al Jazeera English
      Notre Dame fire pledges inflame Yellow Vest protesters – Al Jazeera English

      Paris, France – Holding signs that read “What about the poor?” and chanting “Justice for all,” France’s yellow vest protesters, ignoring the displays of unity by the French political class in the wake of the Notre Dame fire, marched through the streets of Paris and other cities on Saturday, vowing to persevere in what they called “Ultimatum 2”.

      “These [protests] are very important for social justice,” said Jean-Baptiste Redde at the Saturday protest on Republique Square in central Paris. “We have to help the poor, the disabled people, those who don’t have roofs to live under. It’s important to hold on.”

      Hundreds were arrested and dozens injured as violence broke out between demonstrators and police.

      The French capital quickly became the epicentre of Saturday’s violence, with 9,000 protesters reported in Paris alone, according to the French Ministry of the Interior, and police sealed off entire sections of the city.

      While the protests started out peacefully, almost with a carnival-like atmosphere, violence erupted as thousands of demonstrators approached the Place de la Republique.

      People threw rocks at police who responded with tear gas and stun grenades.

      It was the twenty-third demonstration by the loosely organised, disparate movement that is mainly united in its resentment over the lack of economic equality in France and displeasure with President Emmanuel Macron, whom many see as a “president of the rich”.

      The grassroots movement that started on social media has proven to be one of the biggest tests of Macron’s presidency, with protesters refusing to let this week’s fire at Notre Dame pause their demonstrations, even as the president and French political parties put aside politics and halted campaigning for the upcoming European Parliament elections.

      In fact, in some ways, the fire on Monday inflamed some protesters because of the hundreds of millions of euros raised immediately afterwards to restore the 850-year-old Notre Dame.


      Some of that money was pledged by French billionaires such as French luxury group Kering’s CEO Francois-Henri Pinault and LVMH head Bernard Arnault as well as companies such as French oil giant Total.

      “I would like us to get back to reality,” said Ingrid Levavasseur, one of the informal leaders of the movement, speaking on French BFM TV last week.

      Levavasseur said it was important to criticise “the inertia of large companies and [billionaires] in the face of social misery as they display their ability to raise a crazy amount of money in a single night for Notre Dame”.

      Her comments and others were widely shared on social media. Many agreed.

      “If they are able to give tens of millions to rebuild Notre Dame, then they should stop telling us that there is no money to counter social inequality,” Philippe Martinez, head of France’s CGT workers union, told French radio last week.

      The sentiment was reflected on the streets of Paris on Saturday.

      “Billions should also be given to the poor, to help the environment, to promote biodiversity,” said Redde holding a sign that read, “Millions for Notre Dame – and what about the poor?”

      “But Macron and this government only want to help the rich, so we can’t stop.”

      ‘A pointless debate’

      The fire at Notre Dame, which is revered by all French people – Catholics, Muslims and Jews – as part of France’s cultural and historical legacy, set off a national outpouring of grief.

      As a result, the anger at the donations set off a backlash within the government and among the public.

      “It is a pointless debate,” said Culture Minister Franck Riester, interviewed on RMC radio. “To say, ‘there’s too much money for Notre Dame and there is need elsewhere’ – of course, there is need elsewhere for healthcare, the fight against climate change. But Notre Dame is not only a collection of old stones. It’s a part of our identity.”

      France’s Minister of the Interior Christophe Castaner was more pointed.

      “The rioters have not been visibly moved by what happened at Notre Dame,” he said angrily, shortly before the ministry announced that France would deploy 60,000 police officers on Saturday and prevent any protesters from getting near Notre Dame and the Champs-Elysees where, in March, they set fire to a bank, smashed the front of a renowned restaurant, and looted stores.

      It’s difficult to say the protests are no longer legitimate because of the Notre Dame fire. Life goes on. And so do the yellow vests.

      Jean-Michel Aphatie, political commentator

      Meanwhile, the public is already growing weary of the protesters – recent polls show support for the yellow vests has dropped by half from 80 percent. An Odoxa poll released on Friday indicated that a slim majority of French wanted the demonstrations suspended.

      “I’m tired of this,” a clothing shop owner in the Marais, a major tourist district next to Republique Square, told Al Jazeera privately. “For five months, we have had almost no business – the tourists are not coming here because of the protests.”

      Notre Dame even gave pause to some within the movement. Many in the movement on Tuesday called for protests to be delayed in deference to the “national tragedy” at Notre Dame.

      ‘Too little, too late’

      Monday’s fire broke out just an hour before Macron was scheduled to give a televised address detailing a series of policy reforms in response to the yellow vest protesters and their grievances. The speech was cancelled at the last minute and rescheduled for next Thursday.

      Even so, copies of the taped speech sent to reporters were leaked. In it, Macron promised to lower taxes for the middle class, reconsider his decision to cut a “fortune solidarity tax” on top earners, and make adjustments to the lowest pensions for inflation.

      Macron was also set to announce the closure of the highly prestigious Ecole nationale d’administration, a college that trains public servants. Many have criticised the school as a place reserved for the elite.

      The Odoxa poll showed the majority of French citizens supported these changes. But many yellow vest demonstrators and others continued their chant of “too little, too late” and vowed to continue protesting for weeks to come.

      “Pfff – blah, blah, blah,” was the reaction of Catherine Lopis when asked about Macron’s plans.

      “I voted for him (Macron) – had no choice but him or [far-right leader Marine] Le Pen. But he isn’t interested in helping anyone other than bankers. Our problems are not his problems so it is easy for him to turn away.”

      Jerome Rodrigues, a leader in the movement, said on Saturday the postponement of Macron’s speech was calculated.

      “The world stops turning when there is a fire in France?” he wondered during an interview on French television.

      “I think it was a government strategy to get some information leaked to buy time to then better sell us his new programme, changes he wants to make that we are denouncing here at the demonstration.”

      ‘Protesters have a point’

      “These protests aren’t going to end any time soon,” said French radio personality and political commentator Jean-Michel Aphatie.

      But without concrete goals and a clear leader, Aphatie said the movement is struggling to be effective and bring concrete change.

      “The only thing they know for sure is that they want to go out every Saturday to protest,” he said, referring to the fact the protests have run continuously every Saturday since November 17, even though they have grown smaller.

      Even so, he added the protest did have legitimacy. The French have seen their purchasing power decline over the years and many are struggling to make ends meet.

      “It’s difficult to say the protests are no longer legitimate because of the Notre Dame fire,” Aphatie said. “Life goes on. And so do the Yellow Vests.”

      Catching Up on the Mueller Report: What’s Next? – The New York Times
      Catching Up on the Mueller Report: What’s Next? – The New York Times

      The report summarized and elaborated on false statements, exploring why so many people lied, changed their stories and issued misleading statements to both the public and federal authorities — all of which helped fuel the investigation.

      One of those instances came when it was reported that Mr. Trump asked Mr. McGahn to fire Mr. Mueller. Mr. Trump denied the reports to reporters but Mr. McGahn confirmed them to investigators.

      After the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, was fired, Mr. Trump wanted the deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, to tell the news media that the firing was Mr. Rosenstein’s idea. Mr. Rosenstein refused, saying that if “the press asked him he would tell the truth,” the report said.

      While Mr. Trump has called unflattering reports about his behavior as president “fake news,” some of the most unflattering stories about Mr. Trump were accurate, and White House officials often knew that was the case even as they heaped criticism on journalists.

      Mike Huckabee slams Mitt Romney over Trump criticism: ‘Makes me sick’ you could have been president – AOL

      Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor and father of White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, lashed out at Senator Mitt Romney over his critical statement about President Trump.

      “Know what makes me sick, Mitt?” Mike Huckabee tweeted Friday. “Not how disingenuous you were to take @realDonaldTrump $$ and then 4 yrs later jealously trash him & then love him again when you begged to be Sec of State, but makes me sick that you got GOP nomination and could have been @POTUS.”

      The tweet was posted shortly after Romney issued his statement on the release of the redacted Mueller report.

      “I am sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and misdirection by individuals in the highest office of the land, including the President,” Romney said.

      “I am also appalled that, among other things, fellow citizens working in a campaign for president welcomed help from Russia-including information that had been illegally obtained; that none of them acted to inform American law enforcement; and that the campaign chairman was actively promoting Russian interests in Ukraine,” Romney continued.

      “Reading the report is a sobering revelation of how far we have strayed from the aspirations and principles of the founders,” he further noted.

      Billions pledged to rebuild Notre Dame Cathedral fuels protests in Paris

      Enraged Yellow Vest protesters clash with police after an outpouring of money to restore the church; Molly Line reports from the scene.

      Yellow Vest protestors in Paris battled police during violent clashes Saturday — newly enraged at the more than billion dollars that have been pledged to rebuild fire-damaged Notre Dame Cathedral, overshadowing their anti-wealth cause.

      Black-hooded demonstrators set fire to trash cans, scooters and a car and pelted police with rocks to draw attention anew to their 23rd weekend of protest.

      Many protesters are frustrated that the international effort to help Notre Dame has drawn more attention than their five-month-old Yellow Vest movement against wealth inequality, The Associated Press reported.

      Many protesters were deeply saddened by the fire at a national monument. But many are angry at the $1 billion in Notre Dame donations that poured in from tycoons while their own demands remain largely unmet and they struggle to make ends meet.

      FRANCE’S YELLOW VESTS: WHO THEY ARE, WHAT THEY WANT, AND WHY

      Police walk among burning vehicles during a Yellow Vest demonstration in Paris, Saturday, April 20, 2019. French Yellow Vest protesters are marching anew to remind the government that rebuilding the fire-ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral isn’t the only problem the nation needs to solve.
      (AP)

      Authorities deployed 5,000 police around Paris and warned protesters to keep away from Notre Dame and the banks of the Seine.

      The Paris police headquarters said authorities detained 126 people by early afternoon and carried out spot checks of more than 11,000 people trying to enter the capital for Saturday’s protests.

      Police fired tear gas amid tensions at a march of several thousand people from France’s Finance Ministry toward the Place de la Republique plaza in eastern Paris. Barricades were set ablaze at one spot, and branches set on fire elsewhere. Firefighters quickly responded to extinguish the flames.

      Police in other parts of France reported more Yellow Vest protests Saturday.

      A former Marine has been arrested in Los Angeles in connection with an underground group’s raid last month on North Korea’s embassy in Madrid.

      Christopher Ahn is a member of the mysterious anti-North Korea group that claimed credit for the Feb. 22 raid. Cheollima Civil Defense Group says it consists of North Korean defectors and seeks the overthrow of North Korean strongman Kim Jong Un.

      Ahn appeared in Los Angeles Federal Court Friday, but the proceeding was not open to the public, The Washington Post reported. Ahn’s attorney requested that the courtroom be sealed over the government’s objection.

      A Spanish police investigator in the case told The Associated Press in Madrid on Saturday that Ahn was identified by the Spanish police at a later stage of its investigation into the Feb. 22 raid and that an international arrest warrant was also issued against him.

      ANTI-NORTH KOREAN GROUP CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SPANISH EMBASSY ATTACK, SAYS FBI CONTACTED THEM FOR STOLEN DATA

      In a related development, U.S. federal agents raided the unoccupied apartment of the group’s leader, Adrian Hong, on Thursday.

      Lee Wolosky, a lawyer for the group, which also calls itself Free Joseon, said in a statement that he was “dismayed that the U.S. Department of Justice has decided to execute warrants against U.S. persons that derive from criminal complaints filed by the North Korean regime.”

      “The last U.S. citizen who fell into the custody of the Kim regime returned home maimed from torture and did not survive,” Wolosky said, referring to college student Otto Warmbier’s 2017 death.

      “We have received no assurances from the U.S. government about the safety and security of the U.S. nationals it is now targeting,” he added.

      N. KOREA CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION INTO MADRID EMBASSY ATTACK

      Spanish authorities said 10 Cheollima members entered the embassy and shackled and interrogated staffers, while urging the embassy’s commercial attaché to defect without success.

      Intelligence officials in Spain alleged that two of the intruders had ties to the CIA.

      Reuters reported that the participants fled the embassy with computers and hard drives that they presented to the FBI in the U.S.

      Undersheriff: Teen’s death likely preceded Colorado manhunt – The Denver Channel
      Undersheriff: Teen’s death likely preceded Colorado manhunt – The Denver Channel

      DENVER (AP) — A Colorado undersheriff who led the search for a Florida teenager whose actions prompted tightened security at Columbine High School ahead of the 20th anniversary of an attack there that killed 13 people said she likely killed herself before police launched a massive manhunt.

      Clear Creek County Undersheriff Bruce Snelling told

      The Denver Post

      that Sol Pais, 18, likely killed herself Monday evening. Her body was found in the snowy foothills west of Denver on Wednesday, and it appeared that she had been dead for more than 24 hours.

      “She had no idea what occurred from late Monday afternoon to Tuesday when a search for her began and to Wednesday when her body was found,” Snelling said. “The logical likelihood was she was here to end her journey.”

      A manhunt was launched Tuesday, the day after Pais traveled from Miami to Denver and bought a pump-action shotgun and two boxes of ammunition. FBI officials said they were concerned that she was planning an attack of her own because she was “infatuated” with the 1999 Columbine shooting.

      Columbine, which is marking the 20th anniversary of the attack Saturday, locked its doors for several hours Tuesday as authorities combed the area for Pais, and hundreds of schools in the Denver area canceled classes Wednesday as the manhunt intensified.

      Dean Phillips, agent in charge of the FBI office in Denver, said social media posts and comments she made to others led investigators to see her as a credible threat. Pais did not make threats against a specific school, but her history and purchase of a weapon immediately after arriving in Colorado merited a broad response, officials said.

      But Snelling said Pais “didn’t have a master plan” to carry out a school shooting.

      “She went dark,” he said. “There was no digital footprint anywhere. No phone. No credit card use. To me, that pointed to a near impossibility that this ill-equipped, 18-year-old teenage woman would fly from sea level in Florida to Colorado and then go up into the mountains with plans to go on a killing spree.”

      Many questions remain unanswered about Pais, but a friend disputed the contention by authorities that she posed a threat.

      Adrianna Pete, 19, painted a complex picture of the teen, saying she was deeply troubled, lonely and often talked about suicide but was also brilliant, kind and a talented artist who loved to draw.

      Pete, a college student in Carleton, Michigan, said she met Pais online two years ago through a mutual friend and quickly developed a friendship involving near-daily communication. They met in person twice, once when Pete traveled to Florida and once when Pais went to Michigan.

      Pete faulted authorities for overreacting in portraying Pais as a threat based on her activities before her death.

      “She never threatened anyone,” Pete said. “There are no credible threats and only assumptions that she was just because the word Columbine was included.”

      Pete said Pais had a weird obsession with the Columbine killers but that didn’t mean she was planning an attack. The killers were “someone she could relate to” because they were lonely, not because of their violence, Pete added.

      An FBI spokeswoman has not responded to a request for more information on Pais’ background or her Columbine-related comments that sparked the rapid law enforcement response.

      Clerics meet with officials after police-involved shooting in New Haven – theday.com
      Clerics meet with officials after police-involved shooting in New Haven – theday.com

      NEW HAVEN (AP) — Connecticut religious leaders met with government officials Friday to try to ease concerns after a shooting that involved police, wounded a woman and led to protests.

      Local clerics met with Hamden Mayor Curt Leng and police officials, three days after a Hamden officer and a Yale University officer opened fire on a car in New Haven early Tuesday while investigating an attempted armed robbery reported in Hamden. A 22-year-old woman in the car, Stephanie Washington, was treated for injuries not considered life threatening, police said.

      Several protests were held this week in New Haven and Hamden, including one Thursday night that drew several hundred people and prompted police to close several streets in New Haven. No violence or arrests were reported.

      Demonstrators included Black Lives Matter activists and Yale University students upset at the actions of the officers. Both officers are black, as are the woman who was wounded and the car’s driver.

      The Rev. Boise Kimber, senior pastor of First Calvary Baptist Church, said Friday that Hamden police agreed to implement urban trauma and de-escalation training for officers, as well as notify New Haven police when Hamden officers cross the city line.

      “It was devastating to this community to see this kind of action and gunshots,” Kimber said. “I know this community is traumatized and the two individuals in the car are traumatized.”

      Authorities said Hamden officer Devin Eaton was investigating the attempted armed robbery of a newspaper delivery carrier at a Hamden gas station shortly before 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, and Yale officer Terrance Pollack responded to a call to assist Eaton.

      Police officials said the two officers stopped a car that matched the description of the vehicle reported to have been involved in the attempted robbery. Authorities said both officers opened fire when the car’s driver, Paul Witherspoon III, 21, abruptly got out of the vehicle.

      Witherspoon’s girlfriend, Stephanie Washington, a passenger in the car, was shot and taken to Yale New Haven Hospital, where police said she remained in stable condition Friday.

      Witherspoon was taken to the Hamden police department and later released. No charges have been filed.

      A state police spokesman said this week that no weapons were found in the car. State police said Friday that they applied for a search warrant for the car but had no additional information on the warrant.

      Surveillance video shows one of the officers shooting several times at the car.

      Witherspoon, who was not injured, told WTNH-TV he has seen a lot of videos of police-involved shootings and thought he was going to be killed.

      “He was just ready to shoot,” he said of one of the officers. “My girlfriend was yelling like, ‘They shot me. They shot me. They shot me.’ I just never thought it would happen to me, especially here.”

      Five things to know about impeachment – The Washington Post
      Five things to know about impeachment – The Washington Post

      David A. Fahrenthold

      April 20 at 6:08 PM

      Democrats in the House — and on the 2020 campaign trail — are divided about whether to start impeachment proceedings against President Trump, following a report from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III that detailed Trump’s efforts to hinder Mueller’s investigation.

      The most compelling practical argument against such an effort is that it is unlikely to succeed. That’s because the decision on whether to remove him from office would be made by the Senate, which is controlled by Trump’s GOP.

      If Democrats choose to pursue impeachment, they will be using an unwieldy measure built into the Constitution as an emergency tool. Only two U.S. presidents have ever been impeached. Here are five things to know about how the impeachment process works.

      1. What sorts of offenses trigger impeachment proceedings?

      There is no hard-and-fast list. The House decides. The Constitution says that presidents, vice presidents and other federal officials can be impeached for “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

      But what are “high Crime and Misdemeanors?” The document doesn’t say. In the past, the House — where impeachment proceedings must begin — has defined those terms to mean something broader than just “federal crimes.”

      The House has also impeached presidents for behavior that undermines the constitutional system or that brings shame to the office of president, regardless of whether that behavior was criminal.

      For instance: President Andrew Johnson, who was the first president to be impeached, was charged with firing one of his Cabinet members — in defiance of a law that said he needed the Senate’s permission. He was also charged with, in essence, insulting Congress. One article of impeachment accused Johnson of “scandalous harangues” about legislators, made “with a loud voice.”

      2. How does impeachment work?

      The House would vote on articles of impeachment, which are individual statements of offense. All it takes is a simple majority. If any of them pass, the president has been “impeached” — something like being indicted in a legal procedure.

      Next, the president’s case would move to the Senate, which acts as a 100-member jury. The House appoints “managers,” who act like prosecutors, laying out the case for the president’s removal. The chief justice of the United States presides over the proceedings if the president is on trial.

      Convicting the president requires two-thirds of all senators to agree. If that happens, the president is automatically removed from office.

      3. Has that ever happened?

      Not to a president. Johnson, who was the first president to be impeached, escaped conviction by one vote in 1868. Bill Clinton was the second: The House brought impeachment proceedings against him in 1998, alleging perjury and obstruction of an investigation. The Senate acquitted him by a wider margin.

      President Richard M. Nixon resigned in 1974 before the full House could vote on impeachment charges against him.

      Beyond the cases that involve presidents, impeachment has been a tool rarely used in U.S. history. Since 1789, only eight federal officials have been convicted by the Senate and removed from office. All eight were federal judges.

      That list includes one current member of Congress: Rep. Alcee L. Hastings (D-Fla.), a former federal judge who was convicted by the Senate of extorting a bribe in a case before him. Four years after Hastings was removed from office as a judge, he was elected to Congress.

      4. How long does impeachment take?

      In Nixon’s case, nine months elapsed between the start of the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment investigation in October 1973 and the committee’s approval of its first impeachment resolution. Nixon resigned in early August 1974.

      In Clinton’s case, the House moved much faster. In September 1998, the House received a report from independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr that recommended impeachment against Clinton. The House voted to impeach Clinton in December 1998, and the Senate acquitted him in February 1999.

      5. What lessons could Democrats draw from the impeachment investigations of Nixon and Clinton?

      The Nixon investigation seems to bolster an argument made by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) that if Democrats think Trump deserves to be impeached, they ought to try.

      Public support for Nixon’s removal was low at the start of the investigation but rose steadily as the probe uncovered new evidence of his abuses of power. His resignation brought a wave of public revulsion with Washington corruption — and a huge political boost to Democrats. The 1974 elections swept in a wave of “Watergate Baby” legislators who gave Democrats huge advantages in the House and Senate.

      Clinton’s impeachment, however, did not turn out as well for the opposition party.

      In the election held in the middle of their impeachment investigation, Republicans were accused of overreach and lost seats in the House. Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), who had led the charge, resigned after unrest in his caucus.

      Neither of these cases, however, is a very useful case study for today’s Democrats — since Clinton and Nixon were both in their second terms.

      Trump is in his first. That has led some Democrats to conclude that they should focus more on defeating Trump in 2020 than impeaching him before then.

      Armed volunteer militia group detains immigrants at the U.S. border – AOL
      Armed volunteer militia group detains immigrants at the U.S. border – AOL

      The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) wants members of a volunteer militia group arrested for detaining immigrants at gunpoint and impersonating U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

      Members of the United Constitutional Patriots, a conservative group in New Mexico, unofficially patrol the U.S.-Mexico border in their home state and detain immigrants crossing the border.

      This week, the group detained nearly 300 people, including families with young children, near Sunland Park, as recorded in a video posted to Facebook by member Jim Benvie. “Oh, and look what we got here, guys,” Benvie, 43, said during the live video while stopping a family. “Border control,” he told the group, despite the fact he is not employed by U.S. government.

      RELATED: Migrants detained near U.S.-Mexico border




      In the video, Benvie is joined by his camouflage-clad partner who calls border security agents to retrieve the immigrants. “…You never know what’s coming through that wall,” said Benvie. “You gotta have the kids. That’s the passport.”

      In more videos, Benvie calls for people to stand behind President Trump, describing immigration as “a very organized invasion.” According to BuzzFeed, a Border Patrol agent temporarily left five women and their children in the care of the United Constitutional Patriots.

      Videos of hot and thirsty families cowering in the sand caused the ACLU of New Mexico to demand state officials intervene. On Thursday, the organization sent a letter to Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and Attorney General Hector Balderas.

      “The Trump administration’s vile racism has emboldened white nationalists and fascists to flagrantly violate the law,” read the ACLU letter. “This has no place in our state: we cannot allow racist and armed vigilantes to kidnap and detain people seeking asylum.”

      Peter Simonson, executive director for the ACLU of New Mexico, tells Yahoo Lifestyle the group’s actions are illegal. “They say they’re making citizen’s arrests however those can only be executed in the context of a felony — crossing the border is a misdemeanor, at least as a first-time offense.”

      The United Constitutional Patriots, however, may be committing state and federal crimes such as kidnapping, false imprisonment and impersonating law enforcement officers, says Simonson. “They wear camo and self-made badges, but they are not deputized by U.S. Border Control.”

      A representative of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection tells Yahoo Lifestyle that it “does not endorse private groups or organizations taking enforcement matters into their own hands.”

      “Interference by civilians in law enforcement matters could have public safety and legal consequences for all parties involved. Border Security operations are complex and require highly trained professionals with adequate resources to protect the country. Border Patrol welcomes assistance from the community and encourages anyone who witnesses or suspects illegal activity to call 911, or the U.S. Border Patrol tip line 1-877-872-7435,” the representative says.

      But the government is ignoring or condoning illegal activity, says the ACLU. “To our knowledge, border control agents have made at least two trips to pick up immigrants the vigilante group has held at gunpoint,” Simonson says. “Law enforcement has an obligation to hold this group accountable. It’s an explosive situation.”

      ​In a statement to Yahoo Lifestyle, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham states “that migrant families might be menaced or threatened in any way, shape or form when they arrive at our border — often times after an unimaginably arduous journey — is completely unacceptable. It should go without saying that regular citizens have no authority to arrest or detain anyone. My office and our state police are coordinating with the Attorney General’s Office and local police to determine what has gone on and what can be done.”

      Attorney General Hector Balderas sent a statement to Yahoo Lifestyle on the situation as well.

      “My office has been informed that this week, an armed group has detained nearly 300 people near Sunland Park, New Mexico,” he says. “These individuals should not attempt to exercise authority reserved for law enforcement.”

      Benvie and a rep from the United Constitutional Patriots did not respond to interview requests from Yahoo Lifestyle. Benvie told the New York Times that he simply issues “a verbal citizen’s arrest.”

      “If these people follow our verbal commands, we hold them until Border Patrol comes,” Benvie told the New York Times. “Border Patrol has never asked us to stand down.”
