US right-wing militias were traditionally antagonistic towards the government but they seem to have a warm impression of Trump.
Around the United States, anti-immigrant and far-right militia groups and members are increasingly wrapped up in legal troubles, with many facing prison time for their activities.
In addition to being angry that the vigilante group wouldn’t allow him to use a silencer on his weapon, Pratchard “also became angry when he learned he could not go ‘hands on’ with illegal aliens crossing” the border, one source said, as reported by the Arizona Daily Star. Pratchard’s case comes amid a string of prosecutions targeting far-right militia groups and armed anti-immigrant vigilante outfits around the country.
Of that total, at least 17 were explicitly anti-immigrant, although others- neo-Nazi groups and white nationalist organisations, for instance- also harbour fervently anti-immigrant views. “Trump’s words and deeds have helped to cultivate an ethnic animus that has not in the past been part of the anti-government movement’s ideology,” she told TRT World by email.
