The #TohonoOodhamNation : US Threatens and Promises Destruction while Building #BorderWall
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Oct. 16, 2026
"The Tohono O'odham Legislature said today that their Nation and way of life are under attack by the federal government, while the #USGovt threatens and feels assured of its power to violate the rights of a #SovereignNation.
" #HomelandSecurity plans to begin removing #Oodham relatives, the #Saguaro, and #Ocotillo, in two weeks. The government plans to start building the wall on December 1. More than
half of the 2,000 Saguaro and Ocotillo will not survive, even if they are transplanted, the tribe said.
"Last week, the Border Patrol told the tribe that the prayer camp at #SanMiguelGate would be removed and the people 'manhandled.' O'odham at the #SacredFire were able to move further from the international boundary, the tribe said.
"Condemning the Border Patrol's action, the Tohono O'odham Legislature said O'odham have a right to freedom of speech, freedom of worship and to peacefully assemble.
"Reporter John Carlos Frey said that #BorderPatrol stormed the Tohono O’odham #PrayerCamp with rifles raised while families slept inside. At 3:28 am in the morning, Border Patrol agents stormed the camp. Awakened, the fire keepers heard a gun being chambered by an agent with a long gun. The #FireKeepers ' log lists 665 sightings of #drones and helicopters and surveillance."
