Armed man driving 'Trump' truck detained outside El Paso migrant shelter

EL PASO, Texas - An armed man, described by staff at a local migrant shelter as "a white supremacist Trump supporter," was detained by police when he was found lurking outside the shelter shortly after President Trump concluded a visit to El Paso.

Police confirmed an incident occurred around 7 p.m. Wednesday in the 900 block of Stanton near the Casa Carmelita shelter.

In a social media post, Casa Carmelita said the man "was sitting in his truck wearing blue latex gloves, and brandishing a knife." The shelter also said "police recovered a loaded gun, ammo, and a bag of white powder from his person."

Images posted to social media showed the man with a pickup truck emblazoned with Trump's name and a likeness of the president as 'Rambo' on it, as well as the name of Texas Senator Ted Cruz; photos also showed Central patrol officers drawing their weapons and taking him into custody.

Asking for a country.

He's a bad villain from a shitty movie that needs to be arrested and in prison.

Trump has henchmen applying for work on a daily basis.

Just like any of these mass shooters. Even if there is more than reasonable suspicion, until they actually pull the trigger they are "within their rights".

Even the guy in El Paso. He could have walked right in to the Walmart, fully armed with thousands of rounds and rapid fire weapons, chosen his favored position, and not be breaking a law. Not until he opened fire.

Insanity.
