DHS Accused of Intimidating Tohono O'odham Nation Over Border Wall

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

The Trump administration is pressing ahead with border wall construction across the Tohono O'odham Nation's land in Arizona, despite the tribe's decades of cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security. A ProPublica report alleges DHS is intimidating the community with surveillance, masked agents and drones, in a project tribal members say would divide their people and sacred lands.

Why now: New reporting on the administration's aggressive border wall tactics against a tribe that had long cooperated with federal authorities has drawn attention and criticism.
