Volunteer Militia Back on in Kinney County?

National News Organization Quotes Sheriff Coe, Saying it is So

Some new information tonight, published sometime today in the Epoch Times by Charlotte Cuthbertson. Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe apparently releasing information to her that he is prepared to deputize about 100 volunteers to start with, with numbers eventually reaching 600.

The information may be behind a paywall, so we will summarize it ruthlessly for those who do not wish to register there. Here’s the link.

The new information is grafted onto the bottom of material previously filed, covering the recent Townhall on Immigration with State Attorney General Ken Paxton and Maria Bartiromo, so if you click through, scroll to the bottom of the page for the nitty gritty.

Best guess is that Sheriff Coe granted Ms. Cuthbertson an interview on the 14th, telling her that the latest communications with the Governor’s Office were on the 13th, when he learned that about 1500 National Guard troops are on the way to Eagle Pass and Del Rio.

What follows in italics is an extensive cut and paste from her reporting:

“We’re getting zero. So that tells me if they block off Del Rio and they block off Eagle Pass, where are they coming? In between. The point of least resistance,” Coe told The Epoch Times. Kinney County sits between Del Rio and Eagle Pass.

Meanwhile, Coe said he’s preparing to meet with Zavadil to sign an agreement to allow a “defensive security force” to come in and set up camp in the county and work the ranches for illegal activity. He’s hoping to get donations to help offset the cost through the county’s new border security website.

“We’ll try to get them deputized or something to get the ball rolling because the governor’s not going to help us,” Coe said, adding that some legal issues need to be ironed out first. He’s hoping for around 600 volunteers, but expects 100 to start.

“It’s going to be a combined effort—we’ll get intel from DPS, get intel from Border Patrol where the biggest groups are coming through, which cameras are seeing the most activity—and get them set up in those areas,” Coe said. “And then we’ll start processing them [illegal aliens], charging them, and see what happens.”

This puts a lot of things into new perspective. Including yesterday’s mess of confusion and mixed signals. One suspects that Mr. Frank Lopez received information about this potential muster of 100 - 600 volunteers and pushed it out on Facebook before County officials were ready. One can imagine the alarm— a general all-call like that through official channels could potentially bring thousands of concerned U.S. Citizens rushing to Kinney County out of a patriotic desire to secure the border, who would all be theoretically outside any sort of chain-of-command, and liable to create a humanitarian crisis all on their own with a lack of infrastructure here for so many.

Indeed— if one goes back and reads the reactions on Facebook to the Sheriff’s statement, one sees no shortage of hurt feelings and expressions of dismay from people saying they were ready to bring their rifles, tents, food and friends with all of their rifles, tents, and food. How many might have truly made the trek all the way here, no one can say for certain.

U.S. Govt. Hunting for Pakistani Coyote in Border Area

Another story that has caught our eye— this time by Todd Bensman at the Center for Immigration Studies. He reports that the Government has indicted a Pakistani national who apparently specializes in smuggling jihadists through the southern border, disguising Pakistanis, Yemenis, and others as men from other nations.

The Khan network, run by “Abid Ali Khan” has apparently been under investigation by the U.S. Government since 2015. They reportedly charge $20,000 dollars a head to arrange passage into the United States. Khan and his associates remain active, and have not been captured or arrested.

Bensman notes, this comes after the arrest of two Yemeni nationals in California. This would suggest that the Khan network operates in the Tijuana area— but realistically speaking, for that kind of money, they are probably capable of operating anywhere they please.

If any law enforcement figures happen to be reading this, one hopes they know a couple of Pashto or Dari phrases, and are able to spring them on aliens at random moments— who knows, a suspect just might slip up and answer.

Click through and read Mr. Bensman’s reporting— he has some stellar analysis of the clues that indicate Khan and his associates must represent a much greater national security risk than your average “SIA’s.” “SIA” is short for “Special Interest Aliens,” and is typically used to refer to those coming from regions that might suggest a higher national security risk of terrorism.

This added danger only serves to highlight the great risk posed by massive groups of illegal aliens coming all at once. As we saw in Del Rio, they require the diversion of nearly every State Trooper, Border Patrolman and others, to address— leaving surrounding areas wide open for the passage of not only dangerous men, but also dangerous cargo.

Who can screen for smuggled explosives—let alone narcotics— when the checkpoints are closed?

If things happen to slow down a little bit in Kinney County, we plan to produce a longer piece analyzing how Houston may be the sleaziest city in Texas, if not the nation. How’s that? Well, it’s the number one spot for female sex trafficking. No offense, Houston, but as badges of shame go it’s unavoidable.
