By ANDREW POLLACK Published: August 19, 2005 DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 18 - Spent shells litter the ground at what is left of the firing range, and camouflage outfits still hang in a storeroom. Just a few months ago, this ranch was known as Camp Thunderbird, the headquarters of a paramilitary group that promised to use force to keep illegal immigrants from sneaking across the border with Mexico.
Now, in a turnabout, the 70-acre property about two miles from the border is being given to two immigrants whom the group caught trying to enter the United States illegally.
The land transfer is being made to satisfy judgments in a lawsuit in which the immigrants had said that Casey Nethercott, the owner of the ranch and a former leader of the vigilante group Ranch Rescue, had harmed them.
"Certainly it's poetic justice that these undocumented workers own this land," said Morris S. Dees Jr., co-founder and chief trial counsel of the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., which represented the immigrants in their lawsuit.
Mr. Dees said the loss of the ranch would "send a pretty important message to those who come to the border to use violence."

"This guy better apeal this, the Illegals have no standing here what so ever. New way to own land, sneak across the border and have a judge take land away from a citizen and give it to an ILLEGAL alien. We need to take some drastic action on judges like this."
According to Bush we are vigilantes and illegals are just looking for work. Bush and AG Gonzales are probably dancing a jig together over the news that American citizens are losing their property rights to illegals who have no rights here.
?????? WTH?????
Works for me...
I was thinking it would be at least 5 years before the west went the way of Yugoslavia, The SW USA is a smoldering fire that our government is pouring gasoline on.
Shameful. This is an outrage. We cannot accept this kind of injustice. This is the reason the second amendment exists. When our government no longer acts in the best interest of its citizens, it's time we take our government back. It might just be time to get our guns.
Nethercutt is not popular with management here, but RR was a legitimate force trying to deal with illegals who were cutting across ranches and terrorizing owners in their houses, sometimes raping and robbing, always stealing anything that wasn't nailed down. Just another group of folks doing jobs the governmental entity refuses to do. And not the governmental entity has found a way to put them out of business.
This judge needs to be put out of business. Anybody know the name?
We are standing by as our nation is being flushed down the toilet. Makes one wonder why we are sending our troops to Irag to defend liberty while we are losing our liberty here.
Come on over, for you too can own another's property.
Pick fight, get lawyer, sue for property, gain property,
if I'm from south of the border.
Is this a great county or what?
Don't be surprised my fellow Americans, this is only the beginning. The worst is yet to come.
It seems from this picture, that GWB doesn't care much for Fox, but I could be reading it wrong.

I've seen it posted before and it bears repeating.
"The American people have no-one to turn to."
Blood in the Streets?
It's beginning to appear our so-called leaders are
paving the way for this to happen.
Marxist Justice
I wish Tony Snow would have had this information when he was talking to Richardson and Newt this morning.
Like the ACLU ...and many others...
Against all enemies.. both foreign and domestic
imo
Now that the court has screwed this rancher, These destitute illegals can sell it for a very nice profit. They sure as heck can't pay the taxes. Or maybe the previous owner will be required to pay them for these poor illegals. BARF BARF BARF. Amen.
This could be a landmark case, a turning point for the anti-illegal invasion, and a turning point for the tolerance of groups that support illegals.
This is unreal.
