The only reason port-a-potties was ever mentioned is because Chris Simcox told the reporter, on camera, that that was one of the things the money collected (1 mil?) went. He also said, on camera, that the donations went for food to feed the volunteers. So the reporter went to the border, asked volunteers where the port-a-potties were, and was told there have never been any. Also, volunteers have to pay for the food they eat. They even showed a sign: $3.75 for breakfast.
And now Simcox wants another 55 million?
If you look in their own training manual - It says what will be provided, (P19-20)

It says the sponsoring chapter will provide some things and porta-potties. It does not say food is provided.
It looks from the manual, you provide your own lodging and food; the chapter you are sponsored from is supposed to coordinate supplies, directions, porta-potties.
There's a $50 fee for a background investigation on volunteers. Maybe they are irked about that?
Still sounds like sour grapes to me.
Was the reporter joined up as a Minuteman and associated with a chapter?
I highly doubt it.
