In this undated handout photo from J.T.
Ready, J.T. Ready is shown. Ready. Ready is a
reputed neo-Nazi who has been conducting
heavily armed patrols to catch illegal aliens
in the Arizona desert amid the furor over
immigration in the state and angering local
law enforcement officials who say right-wing
radicals are not welcome. The militia said it
was emboldened because of the federal
government's inability to secure the border,
and it has declared war on what it calls
"narco-terrorists." (AP Photo/J.T. Ready)
