The case of Shawna Forde is a bizarre and tragic tale which highlights the dangers of militia groups. She first began making headlines in 2009, when she claimed to have been targeted for a series of violent incidents in Everett, Washington. According to Forde, she was the victim of Mexican drug cartel retribution for her Minutemen activism. The Minuteman Project began in 2004, allegedly in a response to the wave of people crossing the U.S. Border from Mexico. They were an anti-immigration movement, insisting that undocumented residents were responsible for increasing crime.

However, in 2012, Forde committed a crime under the guise of the minutemen which completely overshadowed any of their earlier actions.
