Matricular Consular cards are identification cards issued by the Mexican government to mainly illegal immigrants living in the United States. Currently, more than 350 financial institutions accept Matricula Consular cards as proof of identification thereby allowing thousands of illegal immigrants to have access to mainstream U.S. financial services.

A Representative of Mexican Consulate asked the Minutemen to leave, first stating this was a private event for "Mexicans Only." She threatened the Minutemen, and assaulted one. She insisted we could not take pictures.

She then called the police. At first she was unable to produce the paperwork requited to use school property, then states she had no ID with her. Finally it was determined,they had the right to used the building but could not force the Minuteman from the immediate property.She was also advised anyone could take pictures in a public place. A Great, Productive Afternoon!

Bank of America did a brisk business, one employee hid her face from pictures, but flipped us off as she left.
