Photos show border militias moving across Texas

*I came very close to not publishing these pictures. They’re self-promoting – the “militia” provided the photos to the San Antonio Express News. They’re not new – the last time militia descended on the border the pictures looked the same. They’re boring – a bunch of grown men playing soldier in a desert they don’t know … I published them anyway, maybe for those same reasons. These militia folks don’t realize how ridiculous they look, it borders on obscene. VL

SAN ANTONIO – Photos showing dozens of members of the militia groups on the U.S.-Mexico border carrying semi-automatic rifles and wearing masks, camouflage and tactical gear provide one of the first glimpses into the group’s activities on the border.

Members of the militia groups, who say they have 10 active “teams” along the state’s southern border, are seen at campsites, walking along the Rio Grande River, pointing rifles and pistols out of frame and flipping off the camera in the photos obtained by the San Antonio Express-News.

A spokesperson for the group provided the photos under the condition that members’ faces be blurred because of fear of being identified by “cartel and gang members.”
