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

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, cooperated with the Department of Homeland Security for decades to help manage the border. Despite that collaboration, the Trump administration is pressing ahead with border wall construction that would cut through their community. ProPublica reports the tribe is facing surveillance drones, masked federal agents and what critics describe as intimidation as the project advances.

Why now: A new ProPublica investigation has drawn attention to the clash between federal border policy and a Native American nation's sovereignty.
