DHS Surveillance and Masked Agents Intimidate Tohono O'odham Border Tribe

Original: As Trump’s Wall Closes in, DHS Intimidates a Border Tribe With Surveillance, Masked Agents and Drones

The Tohono O'odham Nation, whose homeland spans the US-Mexico border in Arizona, is being subjected to intensified surveillance by the Department of Homeland Security, including drones and masked agents, as the Trump administration pushes forward with border wall construction. For decades the tribe cooperated with DHS to manage border security while keeping their community united, but reporting by ProPublica says that cooperation has not stopped a project that would divide their land and people.

Why now: New reporting is highlighting the conflict between the Trump administration's border wall push and the rights of a Native American nation living on the border.
