Founder of 'Patriots for America Militia' raises border and monitoring concerns in public comment
Summary
Samuel Hall, founder and president of Patriots for America Militia, described three years of border work with law enforcement, raised concerns about supervision of ankle monitors and called on the county to act to address staffing and monitoring issues.
Samuel Hall introduced himself as founder and president of Patriots for America Militia, a nonprofit he described as working with border patrol, DPS and sheriffs to help combat trafficking. He told the court he reviewed a recent meeting’s materials and two items stood out: delays in receiving documents and what he described as insufficient monitoring of individuals on ankle monitors, saying that in one referenced budget discussion an apparent staffing level of one officer to monitor hundreds of devices was unacceptable.
Hall praised Sheriff Skinner’s work but pressed the court to correct monitoring shortfalls and called the situation urgent for county safety. No formal county response to Hall’s public comment was recorded during the meeting.
