"Arrests and Foiled Plots: Militia Activities at the Southern Border"

The FBI arrested a man in Tennessee, Paul Faye Sr., for planning to shoot and kill immigrants in Eagle Pass, Texas. Faye had attempted to sell an unregistered rifle muzzle suppressor to an undercover FBI agent and revealed his plans to the agents. The arrest comes after a convoy of secessionist and white nationalist affiliated people attended a convoy in the Eagle Pass area. Residents express more concern about danger stirred up by Gov. Greg Abbott than by immigrants attempting to cross the Rio Grande. Faye faces a 10-year prison sentence and $250,000 fine if convicted, and the Texas Democratic Party Chair accuses Republicans of inciting domestic terrorism.
