“An Arizona state lawmaker wants to define border vigilantes as domestic terrorists and have them charged with criminal felony counts if they are caught patrolling the Mexican border with weapons.

The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Phoenix, is aimed at the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. The volunteer, civilian group patrols border areas in Arizona and other states hoping to better secure the Mexican border. Sinema and other critics contend the Minutemen are vigilantes and anti-Hispanic.”
