JACK Foote says he isn't hunting humans, but it sure looks like he's hunting something. He is dressed head to toe in combat fatigues and his private army has the type of weapons you see in Terminator movies: AK-47s and AR-15s, with 520 rounds of ammunition, 17-inch knives, and side-arms powerful enough to blow a person's brains out. Why all this firepower, Jack? "It's dangerous out there," Foote says of the journey he is about to make. "You've got rattlesnakes and scorpions, and tarantulas the size of a man's hand. And you could always get shot up." We meet Foote...

An Arizona newspaper owner and founder of a citizens' group whose goal is to thwart illegal immigration says U.S. Border Patrol officials in Washington have instructed field agents in his area to contact local authorities whenever the group intercepts and turns in illegal aliens.

(Passed to me by texastoo -- similar story on NY Times, but this one is more detailed.) Calling Ranch Rescue an illegal paramilitary unit that is motivated by racial hatred, a team of private and civil rights lawyers sued Thursday in a bid to put the controversial border watch group out of business. "The object of the suit is to bankrupt Ranch Rescue and to bankrupt Joe Sutton, so other landowners will not be willing to work with Ranch Rescue," Laredo lawyer Ricardo de Anda said. "We feel if we get the landowners to stop cooperating with these Ranch Rescue...

UPDATE ON CASEY NETHERCOTT (The Sheriff is mad because someone called his office and referred to them with the nickname we've given them of "The Texas Taliban"!) KEEP IT UP! - KEEP THE CALLS GOING! - KEEP THE FAXES GOING! Our legal representative has provided the following update: The District Judge Alejandro (Alex) Gabert was very complimentary to our Legal Advisor (name withheld at this time) for his outstanding Habeas Corpus work, which is what we have done here. In fact, he was obscenely complimentary. The Judge dragged both the Asst. D.A. (Rudy Gutierrez), and HIS boss, the D.A.- (Herbie...

WASHINGTON - An Iraqi terror team armed with millions of dollars tried to get smuggled into the U.S. through Mexico to Crawford, Tex. - the site of President Bush's ranch, a law enforcement source said yesterday.

The unidentified Iraqis wanted to hire smugglers to sneak them into the U.S. because they "wanted to get to the Crawford ranch,"...

They questioned the individuals and one had a work visa from El Salvador in his possession which meant he could have ridden the bus across the border and did not have to be where he was and thereby trespassing. The area that the crossing occurred was a a point of one of the worst rattlesnake infestations in the area and that particular fencing between the borders of Mexico...
