Agora até andam a matar os nativos americanos.
É isto que 50% da iniciativa liberal quer para Portugal?
Shame on you.

So, a while back (after #RaymondMattia and #MyronDewey were murdered), I coined the term #MurderPatrol for the #BorderPatrol. I guess #KrustiGnome took it to heart...

#OfeliaRivas, Tohono O'odham, speaks with #FirstVoicesRadio host #TiokasinGhosthorse, Lakota.
"Ofelia describes how the U.S. #BorderPatrol murdered her friend #RaymondMattia, #TohonoOodham, at his home on the Tohono O'odham Nation.
"Ofelia shares how Ray's father was her spiritual mentor and taught her about O'odham ceremonies.
"'Raymond is my ceremony brother, and I have a lot of respect for him.'
"Ofelia describes the moments leading up to Ray's murder when about 25 U.S. Border Patrol trucks arrived. After murdering Raymond, Ofelia could hear the U.S. Border Patrol agents laughing about murdering him. The gunfire included two shots from the back, and U.S. Border Patrol agents bashed in Raymond's body after he was shot and dying."

U.S. Justice Department Rejects #CivilRights Complaint Filed for Murder of #RaymondMattia by #USBorderPatrol
By #OpheliaRivas, O'odham Voice Against the Wall, via #CensoredNews, January 6, 2025
"The system of justice for the killing of an American Indian is as expected by the people. The numerous federal agents on the Tohono O'odham reservation are justified in killing our people as they will not be held accountable by the system that pays them to be heavily armed and unmonitored on our land.
"The border patrol have not been prosecuted for deaths, rapes, molestations and human and drug trafficking.
"The Criminal Section of the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice wrote to me:
"'The tragic death of Raymond Mattia, who was shot and killed at his home, by officers of U.S Customs and Border Patrol agents Whitehouse, SiFuentes, and Torralva, on May 18, 2023.'
'Mr. Mattia’s death was indeed a tragic loss. Mr. Mattia’s death was indeed a tragic loss. However, the information provided about the circumstances surrounding his death does not disclose a prosecutable violation of the federal criminal civil rights statutes enforced by the Criminal Section. Therefore, we regret that we are unable to assist with this matter."

So, again, it's okay for the #BorderPatrol (#MurderPatrol) to assassinate an unarmed #NativeAmerican man (#RaymondMattia) and a #LithiumMining employee to run over a #NativeAmericanActivist (#MyronDewey), but those acts aren't #Terrorism? I guess it's all about how much MONEY and CLOUT the victim has, eh?

U.S. Border Patrol Agents who Murdered #RaymondMattia, #TohonoOodham, Identified
Tucson Sentinel, reporter Paul Ingram, reports: "Three #BorderPatrol agents involved in the fatal shooting of a Tohono O'odham man in front of his home in 2023 were identified in legal filings on Friday.
"Earlier this year, the family of 58-year-old Raymond Mattia filed a lawsuit, accusing Border Patrol of excessive force and demanding the names of the agents who killed him."Attorneys Ryan Stitt and Marcus Bourassa filed an amended complaint, and on Friday issued a summons for Border Patrol Agents Scott Whitehouse, Dan Sifuentes, and Ivan Torralva, who they said 'shot and killed Raymond for no reason.'
"'Despite the lack of a threat and his compliance, at least three of the agents met his compliant calm demeanor with a hail of gunfire,' the attorneys wrote. Whitehouse, Sifuentes, and Torralva 'all fired their weapons at Mr. Mattia."

U.S. Justice Department Complaint Filed for the Murder of #RaymondMattia, #Tohono #Oodham, by U.S. Border Patrol and Tribal Police
Civil Rights Complaint filed by Ophelia Rivas, O'odham Voice Against the Wall, and Signees
November 28,2024 Press Release, via #CensoredNews
"A complaint has been filed on November 7, 2024 with the Civil Rights Section of the United States Department of Justice seeking justice for violation of Mr. Raymond Mattia Sr. civil and constitutional rights.
"The unjust decisions made thus far are a blatant cover-up of biased processes and laws pertaining to American Indians.
"We strongly urge immediate compliance with the Interagency Memorandum of Agreement on December 1, 2022, regarding criminal investigations on Indian Country in the homicide of Raymond Mattia Sr.
"The Interagency MOU press release states, 'Department of Justice is committed to working with the Department of Interior and the FBI is committed to ongoing and continued collaboration with the Bureau of Indian Affairs,' said FBI Director Christopher Wray' on December 2, 2022.
"The Arizona prosecutor ruled there was a 'just cause' of 38 shots and 11 bullets striking a peaceful unarmed American Indian man.
"Raymond Mattia Sr. had called tribal police for assistance, undocumented persons had entered his home demanding the use of his cellphone. Ray stepped out of his one-room home doorway as shown on the Homeland Security border patrol body cameras and complied to the demands of over 10 border patrols and 1 tribal police.
[Graphic description of Raymond's murder has been omitted]
"According to Zach Stoebe, public affairs with the U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona, the homicide of Raymond Mattia Sr. is, 'a case that does not rise to the level of a federal criminal civil rights violation or a criminal violation in Arizona law.' (USA Today, Oct. 16, 2023)
"We call for justice for an American Indian man, Raymond Mattia Sr., a human, an O'odham, a member of the federally-recognized Tohono O'odham Nation. Ray is a father, a brother, a hereditary ceremony leader, a community councilman and a friend with a Right to Live and Exist.
"This is the legacy of the United States of America regarding the American Indian. Truth Day November 28, 2024."

#Tohono #Oodham Police Vendetta Revealed in Murder of #RaymondMattia
By Brenda Norrell, #CensoredNews
December 21, 2023
"The vendetta of a Tohono O'odham Nation police officer is revealed by attorneys for the family of Raymond Mattia, Tohono O'odham, who was murdered when Tohono O'odham police and U.S. Border Patrol agents fired 38 shots at him, striking him with nine bullets, in front of his home.
"'I don’t know exactly where that motherfucker is at,' a Tohono O'odham Nation police officer told U.S. Border Patrol agents as they met shortly before Raymond was murdered.
"The statement was revealed by the family's attorneys. The Tohono O'odham Nation police department refuses to release the officer's name. Neither the U.S. Border Patrol, nor the Tohono O'odham Nation Police Department, have released all of the officer body cam recordings of Raymond's murder. Only an edited portion has been released to the public.
"Federal prosecutors are now part of the cover-up and refuse to file charges against the officer and agents who fired the shots at Raymond, murdering him in front of his home in Ali Jegk, less than a mile north of the border, on May 18, 2023.
U.S. Department of Justice employees met with the family in Sells to discuss their decision but refused to provide the family with details about what happened that night."During a series of interviews between 2011 and 2013, on the border in Raymond's community, Ali Jegk, Raymond told Censored News that he videotaped U.S. Border Patrol agents escorting Mexican cartels bringing drug loads across the border. When Raymond submitted the evidence, it vanished.
"The new details of Raymond's murder are stated by attorneys for his family in a letter, which notified the Customs and Border Patrol of the family's intent to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
"It reveals that Raymond never acted aggressively."

#Arizona tribe protests decision not to prosecute #BorderPatrol agents who fatally shot #RaymondMattia
José Ignacio Castañeda Perez
USA TODAY NETWORK
October 16, 2023"Federal prosecutors won’t file charges against U.S. Border Patrol agents who shot and killed a member of the #Tohono #Oodham Nation just steps outside his home earlier this year, sparking outrage from the tribe who called the decision 'a travesty of justice.'
"In a statement released last week, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said its employees met with Raymond Mattia’s family and their lawyers to inform the family of their decision not to prosecute on Sept. 19. Representatives from the U.S. Attorney's Office declined to share substantive details about their investigation into the shooting and did not factually answer why they chose not to prosecute, according to Ryan Stitt, a San Diego-based attorney representing the Mattia family.
"Going forward, the family has 'little choice' but to file a civil lawsuit in order to get answers about what happened to Mattia, Stitt said.
"'The government’s decision to not prosecute the agents involved is not surprising,' Stitt said in a written statement. 'Law enforcement officers are rarely prosecuted, even for killing unarmed people.'"

Some background about #RaymondMattia's murder
#BorderPatrol Video of Killing Shows #Native Man Had No Gun, Complied With Orders
Raymond Mattia’s family said the partial release of body camera footage “feels like a cheap attempt to justify what they did.”
Ryan Devereaux
June 26 2023"The case is still under investigation, with the participation of the Border Patrol’s parent agency, Customs and Border Protection, as well as the FBI and the Tohono #Oodham Nation. Of the 10 Border Patrol agents involved in the incident, three opened fire, CBP has said. Those agents are currently on administrative leave. Whether Tohono O’odham #police also opened fire is unclear.
"The family hoped that the body camera videos would provide answers to their questions. When they arrived at a Tohono O’odham police substation last week to view the footage, however, they found that was not the case. Though CBP had confirmed that all 10 agents involved in the incident were wearing body cameras, the family was shown the same 28-minute edited video the agency released to the public last week, which only included video from the three agents who opened fire."
