The FBI arrested a 69-year-old New Mexico man Larry Mitchell Hopkins!
He is the leader of The United Constitutional Patriots (UCP)
The armed group stops the illegal migrants and holds them until U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) guards can intervene. They reportedly “arrested” about 200 illegal aliens this week and documented their efforts on YouTube.
New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas issued a statement on Saturday, praising the FBI over Hopkins’ arrest.
“This is a dangerous felon who should not have weapons around children and families,” Balderas wrote 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, not armed vigilantes.”
Hopkins, of Flora Vista, N.M., is expected to have an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Las Cruces, New Mexico on Monday. Federal authorities said they would not release additional details about Hopkins’ arrest until after the appearance.
The operation for a takedown of these brave American patriots is in full swing!
PayPal and GoFundMe have also banned them!
In a statement to BuzzFeed, PayPal claimed that the group violated their “Acceptable Use Policy.”
“The account associated with United Constitutional Patriots has been closed due to a violation of our Acceptable Use Policy,” the spokesperson told BuzzFeed News. “We do not allow PayPal services to be used to promote hate, violence, or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory.”
GoFundMe has not yet released a statement about the ban.
Mark Cheney, who identified himself to BuzzFeed as the “commander” of the militia, said that the bans have “killed” their efforts.
“They killed us,” Cheney said. “I have to find some other way for people to donate.”
