You are correct on both counts though they do not prohibit their
members from being armed, they do have a strict policy of merely
observing and reporting to the authorities. They discourage any
interaction whatsoever.

I thought that the MInutemen project specifically recommends that
its volunteers DO NOT carry arms, and they only call in reports to
border patrol, not make arrests. I imagine the writer has some
bias against them.


The weapons are for defense only, which they are entitled to under the
US Constitution. These people monitor the border and report illegal
crossings and other illegal activity to the authorities and do not
engage people coming over except to help.

Then they make sure those illegals are arrested and deported by the
authorities.

The Minutemen do not take enforcement action but report it to the
authorities.

It's just like neighborhood watch at the countries border.
