Campo Minutemen Light Up the Border Report From Minutewoman 1

LIGHT UP THE BORDER
April 4 - April 11
Campo, CA




Minutemen assembled along the Campo, CA border fence



AT THE BORDER FENCE
The goal is to light up the border fence - vehicle headlights, etc - to deter border crossers and send the message to the Mexican government to stop the illegal border crossings.

Saturday night, April 5, there were about 30 vehicles, along a 3 mile stretch of the Campo, CA border fence.



To the west, beyond the stationed vehicles, a group of border crossers entered the U.S. at about 11pm, and were spotted 100 yards inside the U.S.




Border Patrol agents were summoned.

At about midnight, half a mile east of our site, near post 139, a team of ladies - headlights aimed at the fence, reported activity. Gadget Dan paid the ladies a visit. Apparently, would-be border crossers popped their heads up above the fence, but did not venture forth.



Lights on the border fence served as a deterrent to border crossers - as only one group was recorded as crossing - to the west of the "lights" - on the night of April 5th.



BORDER CHECK POINT

The next day, driving home, after the border watch, Minutemen approached the Border Patrol checkpoint, on 8 East, near Campo. There appeared to be a lost illegal alien, alone, and walking alongside the freeway, a few miles from the border patrol checkpoint. He wore multiple layers of clothing and appeared disoriented.



When we arrived at the border check point on 8 East, we reported the man to agents and they said they would follow up.




At the checkpoint, there was a man whose SUV was being inspected by three border patrol agents, which also included one sniffing dog, in the hands of the border patrol agent at the left in the photo.
