BISBEE - The head of a civilian border watch group is being forced to leave the home from which he had coordinated patrols to stop illegal immigrants entering Arizona.
Superior Court Judge Stephen Desens issued a preliminary injunction barring Glenn Spencer from operating a business in the subdivision where his American Border Patrol was headquartered.
The Pueblo del Sol Property Owners Association Inc. had requested the order on the grounds that Spencer was violating the association's covenants, conditions and restrictions, which bar the operation of a business from the properties covered by the association.
Spencer's attorney, Michael Johns, told Desens that Spencer will be vacating the home he rents by the end of October.
Attorney Nina Capels, who represented REB Enterprises LLC, the owner of the house, said Spencer was served with a notice to leave.
The American Border Patrol, which isn't associated with the U.S. Border Patrol, is one of several such civilian groups operating in Arizona, the busiest illegal entry point along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Its members conduct surveillance along the border and track down illegal immigrants, turning them over to federal authorities.
A posting on the group's Web site said the American Border Patrol has located a 10-acre property near the border for its headquarters.
Eventually "The People" will become completely disillusioned with those that think of themselves as "in charge" and decide to take the future of their country in hand.
Mr. Spencer should claim Mexican ancestry and file a discrimination suit.
Where do we send donations?
Maybe the rental house will be turned into a safe house for drug and immigrant smugglers after Mr. Spencer is booted out.
No businesses run from the home. He was running his business from the home. If he was an accountant, he couldn't run that from his home, either.
It was a RENTED house, in an association-based community. If he moves into a non-association based community, he can probably find a home where he can run his business out of the house - presuming it is a legal business.
That's all this ruling was about. It was not a judgment on his activities against illegals (which I firmly support, BTW).

Anything to make the illegals' lives easier...
I wonder if Spencer even knew what the home owners associations bylaws were, since he was a renter.
" This ruling doesn't have anything to do with what Mr. Spencer did for a living...it has everything to do with a Property Owner's Association enforcing its CC&Rs. "
You are right but I wonder how the CCR's will be enforced against the illegals? LOL
He was running a non-profit organization from what I understand. They would have left him alone if he was selling Mary Kay from his home and his pink cadillac was parked out front.
What brought you here? The CBS flap?

here is a link to this guy's site. this is probably what he was doing in his rented house.
Since he was renting, there's probably not much he can do but move. However, for those who own homes that a Homeowners Association busybody considers to be under its jurisdiction, what are the options? Is there any way to "opt out"?
I used to think property rights were absolute. Then I was sent a letter from someone claiming to speak for my local Homeowners Association (which I had no knowledge of when I bought the place).
You mean "undocumented" smugglers, of course.
Waiting for the Pat Buchanan column that will blame this on the neo-cons (and Israel). /semi-sarcasm
From my profile:
I have updated my FMCDH (From My Cold Dead Hands) sign-off with the addition of (BITS).....Blood In The Streets, which I foresee coming soon, due to the enormous increase of the Marxist progressive movement being shoved down the throat of this failing REPUBLIC through the Judicial tyranny of fiat law, the passing of unconstitutional laws by the Legislative and Executive branches of our government and the enormous tax burden placed upon the average American to support unconstitutional programs put forth by Marxist ideology.
