Report: 'Minutemen' Detain Immigrant Against His Will

HeadlineApr 08, 2005

This news from Arizona. Three volunteers from the so-called Minutemen Project patrolling the border for undocumented immigrants are being investigated after a man told authorities he was held against his will and forced to pose for a picture holding a T-shirt with a mocking slogan. According to law enforcement officials, the 26-year-old Mexican man told agents he was physically restrained and forced to hold a shirt while his picture was taken and he was videotaped. The shirt read: “Bryan Barton caught an illegal alien and all I got was this T-shirt.”
