"An armed militia group of private citizens has agreed to leave their encampment near the U.S.-Mexico border after officials expressed concerns about them brandishing weapons on public property.
"They decided it wasn't worth the fight," Sunland Park, New Mexico, Police Chief Javier Guerra told ABC News on Tuesday.
Members of the group, which calls itself the "United Constitutional Patriots," were seen using military-style attire and firearms to detain dozens of migrant families last week. Video of the encounter was shared widely on social media.
The group has remained camped out near the border in New Mexico and plans to leave the area Wednesday morning, Guerra said.
Federal officials also issued a warning to militia members over the weekend.
"Interference by civilians in law enforcement matters could have public safety and legal consequences for all parties involved," a U.S. Customs and Border Protection official said in a statement.
Private citizens have organized along the southern border for years in attempts to stop immigrants. A group known as the Minuteman Project coordinates volunteers looking to spot and report people that they believe to be crossing into the United States illegally.
"It's our job to support law enforcement, not to be law enforcement," said Howie Morgan, a Minuteman Project leader.
Despite public warnings from federal and local officials, Morgan said that their group only reports what they believe to be illegal activity."

They just sit here and urge others to rebel, the people who are actually doing something right and good are decent people. It seems like now that guy's life is in danger in prison. Are people really going to say they aren't risking their lives?

They're risking their lives for fucking nothing. They capture these spics and they're just released and then walk over the border back into America again. You ever watched videos of the boarder hopper's perspective? They're just annoyed that a wall might raise the prices involved in trying to get over the border and that's it. They fucking laugh at your non-deterrents. They fear the cartels and other shit in their own country a thousand times more than a bunch of idiots that are going to feed them and give them water and house them.

Actually, these militias are bothering the work of Border Agents driving in unmarked vehicles.
