TOMBSTONE – Leaders of a controversial civilian border patrol movement on Monday announced plans to extend patrols in southern Arizona and start “copycat” efforts across the country by next fall.
Dispelling rumors of an early end to the monthlong Minuteman Project, which began April 1, organizers said they plan to draft a guide on how to start a civilian border patrol and “franchise” the movement in California, Texas, New Mexico, Michigan and Idaho by next October.
