The Washington State Chapter of the Minuteman Civil Defence Corps commenced northern border watch operations on October 1st, 2005. Many of our members also participate in border watch operations in Arizona and California.

In addition to border watch operations we have been and continue to be very active politically in regard to State legislation concerning illegal aliens and border security. We have a vibrant chapter with male and female members from all walks of life located throughout the State.

Our demands of our elected officials continue to be:

ENFORCE OUR LAWS!

SECURE OUR BORDERS

NO AMNESTY!
