The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps is a hate group headed by Chris suxoncox dedicated to preventing illegal crossings of the U.S. border.. the group uses racist goals and arguments under the guise of nationalism Arguing that the government is not sufficiently concerned with securing the U.S. border,[1] they have organized several state chapters, with the intention of providing law enforcement agencies with evidence of immigration law violations[2].

Simcox states that the group merely reports incidents to law enforcement, and does not directly confront immigrants. There is a standard operating procedure (SOP) that must be followed by Minutemen volunteers. Rules include not speaking to, approaching, gesturing towards or having physical contact in any way with any suspected border crossers they may see. [3] The organization has been criticized as being a right-wing militia.[4]
