Great photos by Kim K show what the Minutemen must have been seeing from their one corner.

Raging Grannies reported that certain of the Minutemen asked that their photos NOT be posted on Indybay. We are honoring their request in this photojournal, though they seem to enjoy taking photos of the immigrant rights activists ad nauseum.

This reporter seemed to like taking photos of Minutemen holding flags, admittedly a wonderful photo op! He shot photos of the pro-immigrant group's placards, and interviewed many in both Spanish and English for El Observador
