[font size=5]Records: Armed Militia Member a Convicted Felon[/font]

BROWNSVILLE - A militia member who came under Border Patrol gunfire Friday is a convicted felon.

The man, John Frederick Forester, is part of a group camped out on private land near the river.

Officials said Forester was armed when a Border Patrol agent opened fire on him. ....

The group's commander said they only check to see if applicants are on probation or parole.

The commander said the group is contemplating suing the federal government and the Cameron County Sheriff's Department over the shots-fired incident.

The group's leader said the agent opened fire before identifying who they were. He said the sheriff's department is mishandling the investigation ....

"I'm still going to be out there. I'm still going to be vigilant. I might be a little louder towards the agents so that they know that I'm there. I might even put a red strobe light on my forehead so that they can see. I'm not leaving," he said after the shots-fired incident.

.... Border Patrol officials, on the other hand, said they did not know the armed citizens were patrolling in an area where they were chasing illegal immigrants.

"I approached the Border Patrol officer and I said, ‘what's going on?' He told me that they were actively having illegals being pushed toward our position. He requested that we assist," Massey said.

Massey said the group was willing to ignore the shots-fired incident.

"We, as a team, even said no harm no foul. We're not going to say nothing if you say nothing," Massey said.

Massey said that, as American citizens, his group has the right to detain illegal immigrants.

"It's called a citizens' arrest," he said.

Federal officials say forced detention can be viewed as a criminal offense.

Massey said the feds and his group have the same goal.

Border Patrol officials think otherwise. ....
