Use of masked agents on #TohonoOodham land sparks Native outrage at Cherokee #DHS chief #MarkwayneMullin
by Eileen Mamaghani and Ellis Preston August 28, 2026
WASHINGTON – "The recent incursion by masked federal agents on Tohono O’odham land didn’t just anger that tribe, which has been trying to block #BorderWall construction along the remote stretch it controls in #Arizona.
"It also infuriated #NativeAmericans who had higher hopes for Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the former Oklahoma senator who is only the second Indigenous cabinet member ever.
" 'This is especially disappointing when the DHS is headed by … a member of the #CherokeeNation,' said Angelique EagleWoman, director of the Native American Law and Sovereignty Institute at Mitchell Hamline School of Law in Minnesota.
"Agents from Customs and Border Protection and the Bureau of Indian Affairs entered the Tohono O’odham Nation at 4 a.m. on Tuesday to prevent tribal authorities from blocking contractors, according to a statement issued that day by the Nation.
"Jason Nichols, like Mullin a member of the Cherokee Nation, called the incursion by masked agents a 'step backward' in federal-tribal relations – and surprising, given Mullin’s 'knowledge on the importance of #TribalSovereignty.' "

Sitting Bull knew how to show disdain for his enemy. I wonder how this would work at anti-ICE demonstrations?

“There were elders who started to get sores in their mouths because of the pesticides. We use our mouths to help in basket weaving,” Young says.
“And then if you’re cooking in these baskets and the material has been sprayed, then people can be ingesting it.”

The August 1814 burning of the #WhiteHouse was a glorious sabotage of the slave-holding empire 🇺🇲 whose genocide killed 90% of #NativeAmericans.
The burning was directed by Major General Robert Ross, from County Down. Ulster Protestants like Bob are famous for #pyromania. Their huge July bonfires are scary highlights of Ulster summer.
But the bonfires rely on plentiful #pallets. Without #palletisation, young #orangemen might still go west to burn #WashingtonDC each summer. #MuchMoreFun!

The Hungry Hounds: US #BorderPatrol Lurks at #TohonoOodhamNation Border
@bsnorrell.blogspot.com ,
August 19, 2026"The U.S. Border Patrol lurks awaiting its prey at the border of the #TohonoOodham Nation, near the Nation's new 'NO TRESPASSING" signs directed at border wall contractors.
"The US Border Patrol is part of Homeland Security and its plan to #seize the Nation's land for the border wall. The US #BorderPatrol already has open access to the Tohono O'odham Nation, and a #SpySystem in place to track #Oodham and watch them.
The #Israeli built #Elbit Systems spy towers track O'odham on the Nation, with live video feed. US Border Patrol agents have been arrested for murder, serial rape, assault, kidnapping, drug running and spotting for the cartels all along the border. The facts are ignored by #MainstreamMedia.
"US Border Patrol agents in this area murdered Raymond Mattia, Tohono O'odham, at his home. His body showed 11 bullets, and the wounds of rifle butts and broken bones. Raymond told #CensoredNews before he was murdered that he had video-taped US Border Patrol agents running drugs with the cartels past his home at the border. This evidence disappeared after it was submitted.
" #OpheliaRivas , Tohono O'odham, points out that the three US Border Patrol agents who murdered her lifelong friend have never been charged. A tribal police officer, a non-Indian, had a vendetta exposed in the voice evidence. He was never charged for his role leading the agents to Raymond's home where they murdered him."

#MAGA wants to take #America back to some period when slavery / segregation was legal.
#Democrats want to take America back 2 years, when they had power.
#NativeAmericans want to take the land back 600 years, before new #immigrants committed genocide, and named it after some Vespucci guy.
Personally, I want to take the #Earth back 10,000 years, when it was nice and green, but keep #solar #energy and #Linux and ice cream.
