J. T. Ready (pictured above) has reportedly resigned from the National Socialist Movement in order to concentrate full time on his efforts to interdict illegal aliens and drug smugglers in the Arizona desert. Ready tendered his resignation on Sunday June 27th, 2010 according to a report in the Maricopa Monitor. The report on his resignation has not been corroborated by any other source, so either Ready had no outstanding disagreements with the NSM, or else he has simply chosen not to air any dirty laundry in public (in other words, it is NOT to be assumed that J.T. Ready had a falling out with the NSM).
Ready has started a group known as Ready’s Rangers in order to formalize and magnify his efforts. They’ve launched a US Borderguard Facebook page. To encourage the widest possible opportunities for participation, Ready has organized four levels of activism:
Tier IV: The safest level and is for anyone who wants to provide support through letters to the troops, food and/or water for detainees or his troops and financial support. The militia is self-funded and the cost for fuel, ammunition and medical supplies can be high. Anybody from any state or country is welcome to participate at this level of activism.
Tier III: This involves working in campsites and going on patrols. This tier can be dangerous, but is away from most of the action.
Tier II: This is for civilian volunteers. These volunteers are well-armed and patrol both night and day. Their purpose is to make their presence known. They will shine flashlights and shoot flares to detour traffic from coming into the area.
Tier I: This is made up of active military, police and private contractors. This tier is the most heavily armed and ready to face anything that arises. Names of participants are kept secret, so that the participants can preserve employability and not be targeted by leftists and anti-racist anarchists.
But Ready’s Rangers are not vigilantes. J.T. Ready said they turn over any suspected illegal immigrants to local authorities. Ready previously stated that any volunteers or infiltrators caught engaged in illegal acts during patrols will be placed under citizen’s arrest themselves and turned over to law enforcement along with the narco-terrorists and UDA’s (Undocumented Aliens) who they apprehend.

Nevertheless, the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office, which holds “jurisdiction” over the Vekol Valley where Ready has concentrated his operations, is not pleased with Ready’s Rangers. Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said, “Hate groups and other militia-type groups have also made arrangements to patrol, not at our request. This is not helpful and personally and professionally, I do not endorse, nor do I tolerate hate speech, discrimination or bigotry of any kind. These groups should stay out of Pinal County.” But Babeu acknowledged that since Ready’s Rangers operate on public land, no permits are needed for them to be there. The Sheriff’s Office also did not intervene when Ready’s Rangers patrolled Vekol Valley during the weekend of June 19-20, saying their own resources were stretched too thin. That patrol, known as “Operation Line In The Sand”, was characterized as successful, resulting in the apprehension of three illegal aliens.
The Border Patrol was less judgmental. David Jimarez, public information officer for the Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector, said, “Border Patrol does not endorse any private group or organization from taking matters into their own hands as this could have disastrous consequences to public safety.” Jimarez did say the agency appreciates concerned citizens as eyes and ears and encourages citizens to call anytime, day or night, to report illegal activity. Citizens can call anonymously. The number to call Border Patrol is 1-877-USBP-HELP. Jimarez also warned, “Forced detention can also be viewed as a criminal offense and violators will be referred to local, state or federal prosecutors for possible legal action.”
But Arizona Governor Jan Brewer did not comment specifically on Ready’s Rangers, nor has she made any “obligatory” politically-correct remarks about “hate groups”. Instead, in a June 22nd press release, Gov. Brewer merely said, “We refuse to accept that the United States government is unable to protect its citizens against a relentless and daily barrage of narco-terrorist drug and human smugglers. We will enforce, respect and defend the laws of our land, including our laws that prosecute discrimination. We have taken additional steps to update training for our officers to legally enforce our new laws and to specifically prevent illegal racial profiling.”
Ready said his next outing is going to be called “Operation Anvil.” The date has not been set yet, but he said it will be in the Vekol Valley again.
