On his Tuesday show on Fox, Sean Hannity stepped over the barbed wire border fence between the U.S. and Mexico, then stepped back. That incident generated the following press release from Democratic AZ state Rep. Kyrsten Sinema:

...Mr. Hannity's border violations were videotaped by ACLU Legal Observers. The Border Patrol was contacted, but they chose not to arrest or cite Mr. Hannity for his willful violation of federal law...

[...U.S. Code excerpts deleted...]

Why is U.S. Border Patrol demonstrating such an obvious double standard? If the Minutemen came to Arizona to watch the border for signs of illegal immigration, why did they fail to report Mr. Hannity?

There is only possible conclusion. The Minutemen and the Border Patrol have one set of rules for television celebrities, and another for hard-working people who cross the border in search of work.

As Hannity pointed out when he interviewed Sinema after she issued the press release: U.S. territory extends for three feet beyond the fence he stepped over and he was careful to stay on the U.S. side.

The press release, in addition to being quite humorous, is also indicative of the depths that the ACLU and/or their associates will go to try to get something on the MMP or their supporters. Sinema is part of the "ACLU's legal team" that has been monitoring the MMP. Although Sinema in currently a Democrat, she appears to have been at one time a Green.

Maybe this is why the ACLU sent in two observers from their national office.
