18 Arrests For Minutemen

The Minuteman Project was credited with spotting illegal border crossers, which resulted in eighteen arrests by the Border Patrol. From Yahoo News:

Participants in the Minuteman Project spotted the migrants Saturday near Naco as the volunteers were surveying the border to familiarize themselves with area. When agents arrived, they apprehended 18 people, Border Patrol spokesman Andy Adame said.

"You observe them, report them and get out of the way," said Mike McGarry, a spokesman for the project, which begins Monday and is to continue for a month.
