On patrol at the US border with an armed vigilante
A self-styled paramilitary patrols the US border to defend it from what he describes as a 'gang-banger' invasion. Donald Trump has launched an unprecedented crackdown on immigration in the US, with raids carried out across the country by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE. But despite a huge drop in the numbers of people making the crossing into the United States, people like Tim are still taking matters into their own hands – grabbing weapons and patrolling the boundary with Mexico on their own. We join this lone-vigilante in Arizona, as he tracks migrants and feeds information to the actual border police, while confronting good Samaritans trying to offer the most basic assistance to anyone still risking the journey to cross into America. —– Correspondent: Paul McNamara Director/DOP: Michael Downey Producer: Jeff Neumann and Vik Patel Editors: Ricardo Marcelino, Alex Micklewright and Sophie Larkin-Tanner
