The AP reports that the MMP intends to set up patrols along the northern borders of Vermont, Michigan, North Dakota, and Idaho. However, no target date has been set.

The article includes this:

Mario Villarreal, a spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said his agency "does not endorse the expansion of civilian patrols, as proposed by the citizens group in Arizona. We must leave the responsibility of protecting the nation's borders to the highly trained law enforcement personnel of the Border Patrol."

Now, see "Border Patrol Has Issues with ACLU Operatives in Monitored Sector":

The union representing Border Patrol agents in the Tucson sector says its members have had no complaints about the volunteers taking part in the Minuteman Project, which is wrapping up this week in the Arizona desert. But apparently the Border Patrol has had some problems with the ACLU...

In addition to noting the president Bush called the MMP volunteers "vigilantes", the AP article also has this:

"We're not supportive of vigilantes," said Dan Whiting, spokesman for Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho. "We can empathize with the need for border security, but we need to do it the right way."

Craig is the sponsor of the AgJobs amnesty.
