ACLU Suspends NM Chapter
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico suspended its Las Cruces chapter Monday after learning that a member of the group's board was heading the formation of a Minuteman-style organization in New Mexico. Gary Mitchell, a Ruidoso attorney and president of the ACLU board of directors, said the suspension of the southern chapter was a technical move to make sure the leader of the New Mexico Minutemen — a spinoff of the controversial civilian border patrol group the Minuteman Project — no longer had authority to act or speak on behalf of the ACLU.
The only thing beter than this would be if he took alot of his friends with him. Perhaps this is the chink in ACLU armor. Illegal immigration is a sore subject for many in this country, and it is not surprising that some within the ACLU would jump ship over it. Keep up the good work.
