We have been told by the Border Patrol and the county sheriff that doing this can and probably will result in a charge of kidnapping or unlawful restraint .
At least one rancher over by Douglas, AZ, who held illegals at gunpoint, was sued and ended up losing his ranch. If the situation can't be credibly explained as self-defense, you should probably just abstain from initiating a confrontation.
The Border Patrol just picked up the illegals and drove them off and didn't do anything to guy but they told us not to do that and to just call them in the future.
