I can find no reports of militia in El Paso. There is nothing on Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr. I’d wager that someone would be posting pictures on Instagram or Twitter if El Paso restaurants were flooded with militia.
All of the current reports about militia on the border are associated with the FB post that was posted here and reported by Breitbart. As a result of that post, my local militia leaders have made a point to speak out about how the Texas State Militia can be called into action. We have not been called.
I did see one tweet from an out-of-state commander indicating that he was ordering a stand down because Perry said the militia were not needed at this time. I can’t confirm the reliability of said tweet.
This get blown out of proportion quite often. The El Paso unit has the following on their fb page.
All,
In response to all rumors of a Militia activation to combat the border crisis, they are
current FALSE. Yesterday, Gov. Perry tasked DPS to help secure the border and report. He
also called out the administration for lack of action and incompetence. I am staying
well apprised of the situation and will report immediately if the SITREP changes.
Stay Vigilent Patriots and be safe!
