'One of the men filmed while others took the asylum seekers, including children, into custody on Tuesday night. '
'The group then turned the asylum seekers over to Border Patrol. '
'United Constitutional Patriots did not respond to ThinkProgress’ request for comment. '
'Members of a heavily-armed group of vigilantes calling themselves the United Constitutional Patriots intercepted and apprehended hundreds of asylum seekers this week, despite having no authority to do so. '
'The Justice Department also announced plans this week to keep asylum seekers detained while their asylum claims are processed, which could potentially take months or years given a backlog in the immigration courts. '
