  • The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps was a volunteer group at one time headed by Chris Simcox (an Arizona newspaper publisher) and dedicated to preventing illegal crossings of the United States border with Mexico. Arguing that the government was insufficiently concerned with securing the border, they organized several state chapters, with the intention of providing law enforcement agencies with evidence of immigration law violations. The group was one of several that emerged for the proliferation of civilian border patrol groups at the US-Mexico border. Arguably, the emergence of these groups can be linked to the increasing criminalization and securitization of immigration. Simcox stated that the group merely reported incidents to law enforcement, and did not directly confront immigrants. There was a standard operating procedure (SOP) that was to be followed by Minutemen volunteers, with rules including not speaking to, approaching, gesturing towards or having physical contact in any way with any suspected border crossers. According to Anthony Ramirez of the New York Times, the organization "has been criticized as being a right-wing militia". (en)
  • El Minuteman Cuerpo de Defensa Civil fue un grupo paramilitar fundado por Chris Simcox (un ex-editor de un diario de la Arizona) y dedicado a impedir cruces ilegales de la frontera de Estados Unidos. Argumentando que el gobierno estaba insuficientemente preocupado con asegurar la frontera ser de los EE. UU., han organizado varios mítines estatales, con la intención de proporcionar agencias de aplicación de la ley y hacer crecer su influencia.​​ El grupo fue uno de varias milicias emergidas para la protección de la frontera. Está mostrado que la aparición de estos grupos puede ser enlazada, por un lado, a un creciente criminalización de la inmigración. Simcox declara que el grupo meramente informa incidentes a aplicación de ley, y no directamente afronta inmigrantes. Hay un procedimiento operativo estándar (llamado por los miembros del grupo SOP) que tiene que ser seguido por Minutemen voluntarios. Las reglas incluyen no hablar con los detenidos, acercarse lo menos posible, o tener contacto físico en cualquier manera con cualquier sospechoso.​ Por sus posturas políticas y comunicados, la organización ha sido criticada de ser una milicia de extrema derecha.​ (es)
