2nd American Legion Post Closes Doors To Minutemen
(AP) YORKVILLE, IL The American Legion post in Yorkville has decided it will no longer allow its space to be used by a controversialgroup dedicated to enforcing immigration laws.
The Illinois chapter of the Minutemen, which wants to curtail illegal immigration into the United States, planned to hold its third Fox Valley area organizational meeting Wednesday at the Yorkville American Legion.
But following the controversies that have surrounded previous meetings of the group, Yorkville Legion Post Commander Gary Bullock has decided to deny them the use of his hall.
This decision came mere days after the Oswego American Legion refused a similar request from the group.
