The Threat on #Oodham Lands
By Ophelia Rivas, Censored News, July 12, 2026
O’odham VOICE Against the WALL
"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security threatens to construct the Metal Wall on 62 miles of #TohonoOodham Nations lands adjacent the United States and Mexico International border.
"The O’odham Way of Life is dismissed in waiving national protective laws, as was done with the 2006 Secure Fence Act Vehicle Barrier and the 2014 Arizona Border Surveillance Technology Plan.
"The Integrated Fixed Towers were constructed, destroying and removing ancient human remains and burial property, and blowing up hills and mountains of great cultural significance to the O’odham.
"Along the 62 miles of O’odham lands the #BorderPatrol has been using military fear tactics on the people, and all their activities are unmonitored.
"Because he spoke out about border patrol and tribal police corruption, unarmed hereditary ceremony leader #RaymondMattia Sr was shot and killed by United States military called the border patrol along with a non-American Indian Tohono O’odham Nation Police Officer.
"Thirty-eight (38) bullets were shot at Ray, eleven (11) bullets hit his body as Ray stood unarmed in front of his house. Their brutal Excessive Force attack on a dying man is recorded in the Tucson Medical Examiners Report as blunt force trauma, his body marked by rifle butts, with cuts on his head, his nose and face, broken 12th rib and broken right arm.
"The border patrol officers, Scott Whitehouse, Dan Sifuentes and Ivan Torralva, and Tohono O’odham tribal police Cedric Randle, were not charged for killing Ray."

Man killed by semi after fleeing from #immigration officials in #Florida
Death of unidentified 28-year-old man marks third immigration enforcement-related death in one week
José Olivares
Tue 14 Jul 2026Excerpt: "A person died during an encounter with federal immigration officials on Tuesday morning in Florida, a state highway patrol spokesperson confirmed, marking the third death in one week linked to immigration enforcement operations.
"Officials with #HomelandSecurityInvestigations (#HSI), which is a component of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE), had an 'encounter' with four men in a vehicle in the parking lot of a convenience store along a busy road in #SaintAugustineFL, the highway patrol spokesperson said. As the four men fled from the agents, one of them ran into the busy road and was struck by a semi truck. The person died at the scene.
" 'The pedestrian was struck by the tractor trailer in the right lane and sustained fatal injuries on scene,' said Master Sgt Dylan Bryan, a Florida highway patrol spokesperson, in a statement. 'The tractor trailer immediately stopped and attempted to render aid to the victim.'
"Tuesday morning’s death marks the third immigration enforcement-related death in one week, as ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) face significant backlash and public outcry following two shootings in Texas and Maine respectively.
"The Florida highway patrol referred all questions to ICE. #DHS and ICE did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
"The statement did not clarify whether the person who died was the target of an arrest operation by the HSI agents.
"#BorderPatrol officials may also have been present at the scene, according to a homeland security source. An image from the scene of the crash shows a border patrol vehicle present at the site."

#BreakingNews! 🚨 #ICE agents involved in fatal #BiddefordME shooting, lawmaker says
by Christopher Burns, July 13, 2026
"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were involved in a fatal shooting in Biddeford.
"That’s according to Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau, a Biddeford Democrat, who released a short statement about Monday morning’s shooting near Pool Street.
"Beyond that, Fecteau had few other details to make public, saying that the Maine State Police are at the scene gathering details. He expects the FBI to take over the investigation.
" 'These are the details that I have at this time. I will provide further updates, as they are relayed to me,' Fecteau said.
"Monday morning’s shooting is at least the 11th fatal shooting involving ICE or U.S. #BorderPatrol agents since the beginning of the second #Trump administration. That includes this month’s fatal shooting of 52-year-old #LorenzoAraujo, a construction worker, in Houston, according to the Guardian.
"Earlier this year, #Maine became the latest state to see a surge in ICE agents as part of the Trump administration’s #OperationCatchOfTheDay. That surge was cut short amid a nationwide pushback against the agency’s tactics following the fatal shootings of two protesters in #Minneapolis.
"Of the nearly 200 detained in Maine during the January ICE surge, only 11 had criminal convictions, undercutting the Trump administration’s claim that it was targeting the 'worst of the worst.' "

So the #GOP wormed its way into funding #ICE & #BorderPatrol at a level that will please their owner, #trump, through a trick called reconciliation... but how they figured funding for more than the government's fiscal year is EXTRA wormy...
And honestly, I'm wondering if it might be unconstitutional. It definitely skirts norms.
BTW, ICE funding concerns precipitated the longest partial government shutdown ever earlier this year.

#ICE and #BorderPatrol will be funded without changes that Democrats want, "including requiring judicial warrants to enter homes and prohibiting officers from wearing masks." The package also doesn't require ICE to wear body cameras, a reform that had bipartisan support.
"It's very dangerous," said Heidi Altman, policy VP at the Nat'l #Immigration Law Coalition.
"It means that the agency will move forward with even fewer accountability mechanisms than we've seen in the past." -

Speaking of California, there is this report of CBP putting automated license plate readers in remote areas that log all traffic:
https://calmatters.org/justice/2026/02/alpr-border-patrol-caltrans/
When a camera like this is in a remote area, it becomes an easy target for physical destruction by direct action warriors. This goes double for anything owned or operated by ICE or CBP. You can bet these would not last long in Minneapolis.
Short of that, if there is little traffic it should be safe to stop out of range of the camera, cover up license plates, drive past the camera and out of range, then remove the covers. Only cops would make an issue of it, and some remote roads see few cops.
