For Star subscribers: It's billed as 'a social gathering to bring awareness to the exploitation of trafficked immigrant children.' The vigilantes collect phone numbers of migrant kids; some aid workers worry how the info will be used.
Danyelle Khmara Borderwallapalooza — that’s the name of an event that vigilantes on the southern Arizona border are planning for Fourth of July weekend in a national refuge, which seems to be legal as long as it stays on federal land within 60 feet of the border.
“It's official please help get it out so we can raise as much awareness as we can and get a few thousand people here to shine light on these kids that are being trafficed through the border,” an organizer posted on social media. Customs and Border Protection would only say it is aware of the event, along with a boilerplate response that it “encourages” people planning activities in remote areas or locations where illegal cross-border activity occurs to let CBP know what they’re doing.
Humanitarian aid workers say the men have collected hundreds of these phone numbers and they are concerned what they plan to do with the information.
