• A convoy is heading to the southern border to stop migrants from entering the United States.

• The group's leader described their tactics as "domestic internal defense."

• It is not clear what the group plans to do once they reach the border.

A convoy of hundreds of people plans to head to the Texas border to stop migrants crossing into the country from Mexico.

The group, called "Take Our Border Back," is organizing on Telegram and now has more than 1,600 followers.

One of the group's organizers described them as "God's army" in a planning call, according to Vice.

"This is a biblical, monumental moment that's been put together by God," one organizer said, per Vice.

Another said: "We are besieged on all sides by dark forces of evil."

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. It is time for the remnant to rise," they said.

Pete Chambers, a lieutenant colonel organizing the group, has claimed he was a Green Beret. He explained the group's plans while speaking to conspiracist Alex Jones on his Infowars show on Thursday.

"That's what Green Berets do. Unconventional warfare is our bread and butter. Now we're doing domestic internal defense," Chambers said.

"What gets us to the enemy quickly is to find, fix, and finish, exploit, analyze, and disseminate," Chambers said, referring to a military process. "That's what we did in Syria when we took out ISIS really quick."

He said the group would work with sympathetic members of law enforcement who he described as "constitutionally sound."

The convoy is due to begin on Monday, starting at Virginia Beach, Virginia and three rallies will be held in San Ysidro, California, Yuma, Arizona, and Eagle Pass, Texas on February 3.

The group has sub-groups on Telegram for drivers and riders in those three states to coordinate rides.

The website describes the event as a "peaceful assembly" inviting all "law-abiding, freedom-loving Americans."

Wired published an article describing the group as an "armed convoy," after which the group wrote on Telegram: "We are not making a call to arms. A call to engage with anyone crossing the border. We are here to peacefully protest under our 1st amendment right and pray!"

The group said that one of their goals is to stop illegal immigration immediately and close the border.

It is not clear how the group plans to confront migrants at the border and stop them from entering.

Texas National Guard troops are in a standoff with the federal government after they rolled out razor wire at a park on the bank of the Rio Grande, where migrants often cross.

Chambers described those troops as "holding the line," and said his convoy would go to an area about 30 miles away.

Rep. Keith Self, a Republican representative from Texas, has said that he supports the convoy.

Tensions have been rising around immigration, and the issue looks likely to be a major one in the presidential election later this year.

Migration levels are reaching record levels, with US officials saying around 300,000 people tried to cross the border in December.

Anson Bills, an active participant in border-related activities in Texas and a key organizer of the event shared exclusive details about the movement.

Despite facing censorship on platforms like Facebook, where the event’s announcement was removed, the convoy has garnered significant support, with estimates suggesting that over 10,000 individuals are expected to join the movement.

“I’ve gotten a lot of phone calls in the past week where people are like, “Well, I’ve never heard of this. Why isn’t this being posted everywhere?” And we are posting it everywhere,” Bills told The Gateway Pundit.
“And we investigated it, and come to find out that due to the algorithm that Facebook has, they’re not allowing it.”

“From our rough estimates of people that are wanting to join the convoy, it’s about 10,000. It’s going to be in three different cities and three different states.”

The event is drawing participants from various backgrounds, including families, friends, neighbors, and concerned citizens, united by a common goal of taking back control of the nation’s borders.

“This is about the people coming together, standing up for what they believe in. We’re seeing a groundswell of support, not just locally, but nationally, and even from our neighbors in Canada,” said Bills.

The convoy plans to travel across the United States, starting from Virginia Beach, and will host rallies in three different states, the final one being in Eagle Pass (Quemado), Texas.

The final rally locations are scheduled for February 2nd at 5 pm CST and February 3rd at 12 pm CST. These rallies are expected to draw large crowds and feature various speakers who will address issues related to border security and immigration policy.
