Killers,
survivors sought in shooting
...Isabel Garcia, a
Pima County
public defender who is co-chair of Derechos
Humanos, said her group began warning local authorities three
years ago of vigilante actions against border crossers in Arizona.
"They've done everything to not have to
say 'no' to these guys, and now look what we have," she
said.
Garcia said her organization often fields complaints
about armed citizens who've taken the enforcement of border policy
into their own hands.
She said people have been stopped and held
at gunpoint by private citizens on highways and on public and
private lands.
"It's like a green light or license for
all the racists across the country to come into Arizona and basically
hunt Mexicans," Garcia said. [Related
