WestVirginiaRebel Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Trust.org LAS CRUCES, N.M./TAOS, N.M., April 22 (Reuters) - The head of an armed group that stops migrants who cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally allegedly boasted of training volunteers to kill former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, an FBI agent said in court papers. Larry Hopkins, leader of the United Constitutional Patriots, appeared in court in Las Cruces, New Mexico, on Monday to face charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm. The FBI said it found guns during a 2017 visit to his home. The UCP has helped the U.S. Border Patrol detain some 5,600 migrants in New Mexico in the last 60 days, the group said. Defense attorney Kelly O'Connell said Hopkins planned to plead not guilty to the firearms charge. He said the charges were unrelated to UCP's actions at the border. "This is not even dealing with what's going on right here," O'Connell said. ________ Government overreach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
