The Minutemen are a group of volunteer vigilantes who have been patrolling the US-Mexican border in an attempt to prevent migrants from crossing. In the past, they have been responsible for humiliating, harassing, and beating migrants who attempt to cross this treacherous border.
Now the Minutemen have plans to move up to the US-Canadian border, but migrant-rights groups are getting ready to confront them.
We spoke with Harsha Walia of No One Is Illegal in Vancouver. NOII-Van held a demonstration against the minutemen at the US-Canadian border on Saturday, October 1st. Contrary to the Minutemen, NOII are demanding regularization for non-status people and free movement for all.
