PHOENIX — The Minuteman Project — an effort by citizens who have volunteered to patrol the Mexican border for illegal crossers and smugglers — has already borne fruit even before its official launch.
Participants helped federal agents make 18 arrests near Naco, authorities said Sunday. The volunteers were surveying the border to familiarize themselves with the area before starting their regular, monthlong patrols Monday.
