Minutemen plan to patrol anew after border incursion

Volunteers with the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps are headed for the Arizona-Mexico border to provide backup for National Guard troops in response to an incident near Sasabe in which the approach of armed men forced soldiers to retreat.
About 11 p.m. Wednesday, soldiers with a National Guard Entry Identification Team — which provides additional eyes and ears for the U.S. Border Patrol and notifies it of suspicious activity — saw a group of armed people approaching them in the desert, said Mario Martinez, spokesman for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Border Patrol Office.
The group came within 100 yards of the National Guard post, so the troops moved to a safer location and notified Border Patrol agents, Martinez said.
