A member of an armed civilian group that roams the U.S.-Mexico border was charged with allegedly impersonating a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

James Benvie was named in a federal indictment on two counts of impersonating an officer or employee of the United States, according to ABC 7 KVIA.

Benvie reportedly serves as the spokesman for the Guardian Patriots, a group that split off from the United Constitutional Patriots, both civilian groups that detain migrants at the border.

The incidents in which he is facing charges occurred on April 15 and 17 in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a news release. If convicted, he could face up to three years in prison.

1. These so-called "Patriots" are the scum of the earth. Lock em up.

2. Lock him in a cage.

Do not let him bathe or brush his teeth. Make him sleep on a hard concrete floor. Speak no English in his presence, just Russian. Whatever you do don't give him a comb.

5. I doubt the lack of soap and toothbrush will have any effect

Probably doesn’t use them

3. He's a splitter? What, was the first paramilitary civilian group not RW enough?

I don't think three years is long enough for his prison sentence. I think lobotomy is the best option in this instance.

4. "Civilian groups that detain migrants at the border"

Or, as this quaint little crime used to be called, kidnapping.
