| Border Patrol told to stand down in Arizona |
| 2005-05-13 |
| U.S. Border Patrol agents have been ordered not to arrest illegal aliens along the section of the Arizona border where protesters patrolled last month because an increase in apprehensions there would prove the effectiveness of Minuteman volunteers, The Washington Times has learned. More than a dozen agents, all of whom asked not to be identified for fear of retribution, said orders relayed by Border Patrol supervisors at the Naco, Ariz., station made it clear that arrests were "not to go up" along the 23-mile section of border that the volunteers monitored to protest illegal immigration. |

| #3 So someone ordered law-enforcement officers not to enforce the law. Is that a crime in and of itself? |

| #2 Now, if they were to actually arrest someone there......then we'd notice. As far as I know the Border Patrol spends all their time eating donuts. |
