In April, under the rhetoric of fighting terrorism and protecting the economy, the Minuteman Project, which is an armed and racist vigilante organization, organized patrols of the Arizona border with Mexico. These right-wing, anti-immigrant activists and their allies are now expanding the border patrol project to New Mexico, Texas and California. In California, one patrol is scheduled to begin on July 18th, another on September 16th (intentionally scheduled on Mexico’s Independence Day), and a third patrol will be held in October.

One action that will likely be discussed is BorderHack, which will take place along the US/Mexico border from August 3rd-7th this year.
