STILL LANGUISHES IN JAIL
An anti-immigration activists who is associated with Save our State and the San Diego Minutemen was arrested by Homeland Security something like 5 weeks ago. He is still in jail, being held on charges of domestic terrorism. Randy Dees is a member of Save Our State. He was arrested on Dec 20, and has yet to be released.
Jeff Schwilk, founder of the San Diego Minutemen issued this statement.
“..Randy Dees is a former Marine who served his country for many years. After his military service, he joined the patriotic movement. He joined Save Our State in 2006 after helping run the former group ‘Illegal Immigrant Protest’. He loves his country and has been active with SOS at rallies and on their website to fight ILLEGAL immigration in Southern California.
On Dec 20, 2007, Long Beach Police executed a search warrant on the home in Long Beach where he was renting a room from the owner. Police broke the front door down at 7am (no one was home; Randy had already left for work), ransacked the whole house, confiscated Randy’s computer and two legally registered firearms and magazines and then ripped the power box out so the power could not be turned back on. They also took many of his important files. The search warrant was for DOMESTIC TERRORISM! This search warrant was issued due to a remark regarding the ACLU on the SOS forum a few months earlier. The post was seen by one of our open borders enemies who complained about it to the San Bernardino Police Department.
Randy had plane tickets to fly out of LAX the next day, Friday Dec 21 to go home to North Carolina for the holidays. Although he was shaken by the unexpected raid on his residence, he had no fear that any crime had been committed. He consulted with an attorney Friday morning and then packed up for his trip home.
At about 3pm on the 21st, Long Beach Police called Randy to tell him a warrant had been issued for his arrest and that he needed to surrender to the Long Beach Police Station by midnight. They told him if he tried to get on his flight at 8pm, he would be arrested at LAX. Randy notified his lawyer and was told to turn himself in. Randy and a friend went to the police station at about 6pm to surrender to the still unknown charges. He was immediately booked and bail was set at $550,000.
Randy was transferred to county jail in Santa Clarita in late December and has been there ever since. He was brought back to Long Beach on Jan. 15th for a hearing and the judge told Randy he is facing 4 1/2 years in prison on still unspecified WEAPONS charges. Randy has another hearing in February. His situation is looking bleak and he has lost confidence in his lawyer.
We are currently working with Randy to see how we can help him. He can only have visitors on weekends. We’ll keep you updated on any changes or go to www.SaveOurState.org for updates.
In my opinion from following this situation for the past 5 weeks, this is another witch hunt from high on a Pro-American activist to try to scare other activists away from our anti-illegal immigration cause. Little do the high powers realize, these situations just push us harder to rid the growing corruption in our own government, at all levels. This appears to have all the makings of another Ramos & Compean case or a John Monti political persecution….”

Evidently there is quite a bit of infighting.
Save our State is one of the more radical organizations, associated with Barbara Coe and the CofCC.
The San Diego Minutemen
Randy Dees has worked as a “Voluntary Security Guard” for the SOS bunch at times when there have been some confrontations with Hispanics.
Save Our State isn’t pure.
Save Our State’s Joe Turner recently left FAIR. Does the arrest of Dees have anything to do with it?
Dees with SOS
ALL I CAN FIND
I’ve been looking for information on this subject since Christmas. There’s not enough of it on the web, and I’m not finding arrest information on Dees. Is this a Hoax? The one thing that makes me suspect it is a hoax is the fact that there’s not enough outrage about it among the nativist groups.
