A militia group near the US-Mexico border detained hundreds of people this week, New Mexico's attorney general says
"My office has been informed that this week, an armed group has detained nearly 300 people near Sunland Park, New Mexico," Attorney General Hector Balderas said in a written statement."These individuals should not attempt to exercise authority reserved for law enforcement.
"They have absolutely not been authorized by our office or any other. We are actively working with the AG's Office, state police and local police to determine what has gone on and what can and will be done," said Tripp Stelnicki, a spokesman for the governor."That migrant families might be menaced or threatened in any way, shape or form is completely unacceptable.
