Wired reported tensions along the U.S.-Mexico border had taken a concerning turn as a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, Pete Chambers announces plans for an armed convoy aimed at tracking migrants crossing into the United States from Mexico. The Take Back Our Border convoy has gained traction on Telegram, with over 1,000 members coordinating travel plans and sharing information about the upcoming event. The convoy, scheduled to commence on January 29, is causing increased concern as it aligns with the ongoing dispute between Texas and the federal government over immigration policies.
Convoy Plans Outlined on InfoWars:
Lt. Col. Pete Chambers outlined the convoy’s plans on Alex Jones’ far-right show, InfoWars, on Thursday. Chambers, who identifies as a former Green Beret, emphasized a military-inspired approach of “find, fix, and finish” to locate and deal with what he referred to as “bad guys.” The lack of authorities to “finish” led Chambers to suggest cooperation with constitutionally sound law enforcement agencies.
