BREAKING!🚨 #USGovernment is Preventing #TohonoOodhamNation Police From Entering Their #SovereignLand [and preventing DESTRUCTION ]
#BrendaNorrell , #CensoredNews
September 2, 2026SELLS, Tohono O'odham Nation -- "The U.S. #BorderPatrol is preventing Tohono O'odham Nation's tribal police from entering their own land to issue citations to border wall construction crews.
"The crews are violating the 'No Trespass' order to build the #BorderWall . Drilling is underway,
"The media is incorrectly reporting that a federal judge ruled that the border wall is being built on federal land. Federal Judge Richard Leon actually said that this is 'likely' federal land.
"The US government claims it is part of the ' #RooseveltReservation,' a 60-foot-wide stretch along the border created by presidential proclamation in 1907.
"This matter remains before the federal court.
"The Tohono O'odham Nation said it has been #Oodham land since time immemorial and is now officially the #TohonoOodham Nation's land."

The transfer of the 60’ wide #RooseveltReservation land from the Dept of #the Interior to the Dept of #Defense [greatly] expanded the #Pentagon’s authorities to patrol the land, allowing US #troops to temporarily detain migrants they encounter rather than simply calling #law enforcement authorities.

The #Defense-related charge alleges that migrants “willfully violated the order issued on April 18, 2025, by the US #Army Garrison #FortHuachuca #military commander designating the #NewMexico #NationalDefenseArea, also known as the #RooseveltReservation, as both a restricted area & a controlled area under Army Regulation 190-13,” which prohibits unauthorized entry.

#Army control of #USMexicoBorder buffer zone may funnel migrants to 62-mile stretch of #TribalLand in #Arizona
Emma Paterson/Cronkite News
April 25, 2025WASHINGTON – "Some Arizona border officials have welcomed President Donald Trump’s order for a military takeover at the U.S-Mexico border.
"But migrant advocates fear that by sealing hundreds of miles of border in the Southwest, the troops will effectively funnel migrants to far more dangerous crossing points. And #environmentalists warn of damage to habitats that support nearly two dozen #endangered species.
" 'Militarizing the border has historically only ramped up deaths,' said James Holeman, founder of Battalion Search and Rescue, a group of volunteers who hike through desolate regions of Arizona and New Mexico searching for remains of migrants who couldn’t survive the desert.
" 'You’re talking about vulnerable people that are making very deadly choices,' he said.
"On April 11, Trump ordered the military to take control of the #RooseveltReservation – a 60-foot wide strip of federal land along the border from the Pacific Ocean to New Mexico.
"Turning the border into a military base would get around the 1878 #PosseComitatus Act, which prohibits the military from engaging directly in civilian law enforcement. #Migrants would be subject to military arrest for trespassing within the federal zone.
"That zone and Trump’s order cover Arizona’s four border counties – Yuma, Pima, Santa Cruz and Cochise – except for a 62 mile stretch of Pima County controlled by the #TohonoOOdhamNation.
"Holeman, among others, expects that gap to become an even bigger magnet for human trafficking.
"The tribe’s ancestral lands span the border, and roughly 2,000 of 34,000 members live on the Mexican side.
"Tribal leaders declined opportunities to discuss the situation.
"Even before the military build-up to the east and west, the reservation was a hot spot for illegal crossings. The tribe’s stretch of border is relatively flat. And it’s secured with vehicle barriers and large-gapped cattle fencing that don’t impede people, because the tribe refused to allow wall construction during Trump’s first term."

#Trump’s memo states that the #DOD should be provided jurisdiction over lands including the #RooseveltReservation – a 60-foot-wide swath of land along the #border – for #military purposes including border wall construction & installing detection & monitoring equipment. The memo excludes Federal Indian Reservations.

To date, the #Trump admin has addressed such legal considerations by having #CBP or #ICE detain people & move them once in custody, including on US #military flights involved in its #deportation efforts.
If the plan is approved, & admin officials deem it successful, the military-controlled buffer zone, measuring 60 feet deep, eventually could stretch west to #California, officials said.

The effort would enable the most significant use yet of #ActiveDuty forces at the border, under #Trump, though any move to militarize the southern border’s buffer zone [essentially a #DMZ] is certain to raise questions about whether employing the #military in this way runs afoul of the #PosseComitatusAct, a federal #law that prohibits active-duty troops from most law enforcement missions.
