MURRIETA, CA - JULY 04: Protesters who oppose arrivals of buses carrying largely women and children undocumented migrants for processing at the Murrieta Border Patrol Station yell at counter-demonstrators on July 4, 2014 in Murrieta, California. Earlier this week, protesters in the city turned away buses carrying about 140 immigrants that had been apprehended in Texas and flown to California for processing as Texas deals with an influx of immigrants.

A pro-immigration group calling themselves the "Tequila Party" sent an official request to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and the FBI's Director James Comey on Monday asking them to investigate several Tea Party members for taking part in the demonstrations which prevented the transfer of undocumented immigrants from Texas to Murrieta, California.

Last Friday, anti-immigration demonstrators blocked three buses bringing immigrants to the U.S Border Patrol facility there, prompting officials to place plans for further buses on hold.

According to Breitbart News, the Tequila Party sent a letter to Holder and Comey requesting that they begin an "outside investigation" scrutinizing Murrieta councilwoman Diana Serafin; Steven Golda and Gabe Pacheo (two U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents); Murrieta mayor Alan Long, protest organizer Patrice Lynes, the Murrieta Police Department, and Murrieta resident Joseph Culberson.

The letter's signatories--including California attorney Ruben Salazar, pro-amnesty activist Dee Dee Garcia Blase, and Nebraska attorney Shirl Mora James--are accusing Tea Party protesters in Murrieta of being "homeland domestic terrorists," and claim that protesters "were obstructing federal law enforcement from performing their jobs" as well as "terrorizing small refugee immigrant children from Central America with racial slurs."

When asked by Breitbart News about whether the Tea Party protestors should be protected under First Amendment rights, Blase replied:
Per California Lawyer via Ruben Salazar, here are some Constitutional principles to consider from the Supreme Court which limit our 1st Amendment rights:

1. Supreme Court in Brandenburg v. Ohio enunciated the "imminent lawless action doctrine," and held that speech is not protected by the 1st Amendment if the speaker intends to incite a violation of the law that is both imminent and likely. And, under California Penal Code Section 404.6, it is a state crime to engage in the mere urging of others to engage in acts of force or violence. And under Federal law, Title 18 USC Sec 249 prohibits hate crimes. Title 18 USC Sec 241 prohibits conspiracy against Civil Rights. Title 18 USC Sec 242 prohibits deprivation of rights under color of law.
2. Under Dennis v. US held that a State may forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or violence where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.

The "Masterminds of Murrieta" appears to have engaged in advocacy to use force or of law violation in order to incite or produce a riot.In addition to these principles, the 1st amendment does not protect conduct, it protects speech only and it appears there were some individuals who were engaged in potential criminal conspiracy to violate federal and state laws. Furthermore, we would like for DOJ and the FBI to determine who made the decision to block the bus since Mayor Alan Long admitted several protesters were from out of town--allegedly from FAIR or Numbers USA. This protest was highly organized. Did these out of town Tea Party protesters potentially violate Title 18 USC section 241, conspiracy against Civil Rights?

The goal in our letter is to facilitate an investigation.

Protesters are currently still awaiting the arrival of more buses, though officials claim no further buses are expected at this time.
