"LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Before the F.B.I. arrested Larry Hopkins, the leader of the right-wing militia that detained migrant families in the New Mexico desert, he’d had so many run-ins with the law that his police record stretched across much of the United States.
Mr. Hopkins finally came under the scrutiny of federal authorities in 2017, after the F.B.I. received reports that his group was “training” to assassinate Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and George Soros, according to documents unsealed Monday in federal court. Mr. Hopkins, 69, appeared in Federal District Court on Monday after his arrest over the weekend on yet another charge, this time of being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition.
The arrest followed the posting online of a series of videos by Mr. Hopkins’s group, which calls itself the United Constitutional Patriots, showing men in camouflage circling and detaining hundreds of migrants in the desert near Sunland Park, N.M., and then handing the migrants over to Border Patrol.
The heavily armed militia’s actions have ignited debate over whether its members broke kidnapping laws and effectively acted as a paramilitary force supporting the Border Patrol. Militia members argue that they were assisting the authorities to patrol remote areas of the border and carrying out “verbal citizen’s arrests.”
In an affidavit, David S. Gabriel, an F.B.I. special agent, said the bureau was made aware of the activities of Mr. Hopkins after receiving reports in October 2017 of “alleged militia extremist activity” in northwestern New Mexico."
Reminder that neither the media nor the feds have provided any evidence of these claims.
Parker Reyes
Yeah, they have some joke somebody made at a meeting. But we're not under American law any more, we're under Muellerism. So they'll investigate without basis and detain without evidence. They'll ruin people's lives and send the message that dissent is going to cost you.
Hudson Lee
I'm sure this is just as legitimate as their claims against RAM
Nicholas Campbell
Just a reminder to git gud bolt actions in a decent caliber, and go lone wolf if you plan this kinda shit. You don’t need a militia to Kennedy a politician. In Minecraft of course
Liam Gray
Bolt-action TNT cannons to blast all the creepers away.
Benjamin Bell
It's abundantly clear at this point they're just looking for any excuse to go after these people. Why is political persecution like this allowed in the US? Abuse of power is wrong.
Christian Harris
Kek mutts think their guns can take over government which vastly outnumber them in propaganda and resources. Gun control will come to america and if you rebel will suffer the same fate as this person.
They should already done it by now. Why should you have right to own guns, form militias and shit if don't gonna use that for anything? You're worse than a yuropoor cattle that grow up in an upper controlled Orwellian nightmare.
Nicholas Allen
oh so he just made typical boomer posts about how he'll show em and that is being taken seriously?
feds are lice
William Sullivan
What a badass. There's a 75% chance the murder plot was made up by the FBI as a means of arresting another man who was doing their job for them.
Levi Clark
Killing Obongo and Soros is the new bogeyman?
Christian Barnes
Good, it looks like there was another MOSSAD operation to keep (((Trump))) in power
reminder that you are a cuckchanner
Charles Walker
Sounds like they were entrapped. Feds probably put them up to the whole thing.
Julian Anderson
So? I f-ing love this country!
Luke Robinson
faggot
Lucas Anderson
Pretty funny that the media and feds care about laws being broken if they can weaponize it against Patriots. They'll make every excuse under the book to defend illegals.
Jose Cook
this only accelerates patriot militias towards what they should be doing: shooting the law enforcement traitors who are responsible for spreading open America's border bung hole for spicnig invasion like goatse man.
i can't wait to see the news kick off when a militia ambushes a podunk town PD and makes off like ISIS bandits steadling the traitor cop's Federally gifted MRAP and their arsenal of Iraq War surplus machine guns and RPGs.
Elijah Carter
Not dubs but checking anyway. Don't forget FBI covered for Franklin Scandal and Boy's Town child rape gangs.
Owen Torres
It's clown world.
Militia are cucks, feds are cucks.
Robert Sanders
so which one was it? The felon?
Jose King
RIP second amendment, btfo eternally by the cuck FBI, d-drumpf do something!
Joshua Jenkins
who snitched on them? Was it the boomer who got beat up in prison?
Eli Fisher
why would he want to kill Obama, Clinton (which one?) or Soros?
All three are better on the border than cuck Trump. lol.
Jonathan Cook
didn't the feds say that those three recently got bomb threats?
James Sullivan
anyone that gets beaten up in prison was beaten up by officials in charge. actual big time criminal suspects like OJ Simpson never get beaten up. Anytime a politically famous person is a beaten up it needs to be automatic conviction of Jailers, including "conspiracy", "hate crime" etc.
Xavier Russell
all famous people "recently" got bomb threats.
Bomb Threats are part and parcel of being an E-celeb.
Xavier Morales
Hello fellow Whites
Blake Sanders
No, I remember those three getting bomb threats on the same day or something like that.
yep, as Daily Stormer pointed out, all these groups have done at least a bit of "legal homework", which is why none of the many powerful J-Left politicians and LEOs were able to even hinder their field operations.
IMO this will all come down to a couple snitches claiming "I think I heard him say something" over beers at a campfire or something.
Like Trump said "take the guns, do the due process later (much later)"
senior leaders maybe, but rank and file will be mostly seasoned outdoorsmen, mostly 40-50yr old vets, and probably lots of guys with Karake etc skills.
Most of the work will be multiday hikes in the mountains.
Angel Taylor
Eat shit FBI.
Austin Stewart
Because the majority of Americans are mind fucked, demoralized, hedonistic sheep that will never fight back.
More like the new normal, with Trump's soft-surrender and all.
Looks like the only people with intact 2nd Amend Rights and allowed "brandish" guns without a big police response are they invading army.
Carson Jones
Nor can they.
Logan Long
"felon with ammo/firearms" can be in the same general area as someone else who has guns, but yeah this Boomer should've known.
I've done Security and its a constant thing with ESL people that they will refer to you as "the police" even if they fully understand you are just "security" and not the police.
John Walker
The FBI is fucking scum, and I hope you read this you fags. If you ever come talk to me, I'm gonna request specifics - remember to cite this one or I will be disappoint.
Hudson Bailey
Daily reminder for newfaggots that both of these "posters" are nigger-tier demoralization faggots who would be shot their first day in any unit. Any and all demoralization, derailing, and USELESS FUCKING BULLSHIT is purely from enemies.
What choice is there where there is NO JUSTICE? If kike partisan literal terrorists who cut people in half, raped kids, and bombed buildings were HEROES according to holohoax shills for supposedly fighting a genocidal regime, then what by the same anti-German reason should be done to other genocidal regimes?
Entreating with the enemy is a violation of the US Armed Forces Code of Conduct. It is your duty not to speak with anyone usurping the legitimate government and engaging in miscarriages of justice or terrorist activities. Learn this shit you plebs.
Levi Gutierrez
They were planning to kill people who live in mansions in the northeast by walking around the border in Arizona, eh…
They write this shit for toddlers and people pretend to believe it.
Isaiah Brown
s/Arizona/New Mexico/ same difference
Aaron Watson
Well it looks like America has political prisoners today, we've gone full blown USSA.
Carter Taylor
I haven't met a person yet that likes or trusts the FBI. Dead serious here.
Chase Collins
>Feds claim border militia was plotting to kill Obama, Clinton, Soros who is Obama, Clinton and this Soros person? I don't know 'em? Around about the same time I told my wife I was going to stop using Downy as a fabric softener when I did the laundry because it made me itch all over. Old news, me and the old lady still laugh about it to this day about it, I'm sure I'll hear about it again come this thanksgiving holiday, but seriously, that shit made me itch for days sleeping on those washed sheets, and wearing jeans………. she thinks it funny, damn her, she'll spin the story to include my underpants, but we are not going there.
Gavin Taylor
Why would they bother? The "people" will believe anything. These guys are more political prisoners.
