#ICE Terrorizing #Navajo, #Yaqui and #Shawnee in #Arizona and #Oklahoma
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews , Jan. 16, 2026
"ICE is terrorizing #NativeAmericans. A Navajo on his way to work in the #Phoenix Valley was grabbed by ICE on Monday. A #PascuaYaqui tribal member grabbed near #TohonoOodham's San Xavier District, bordering Tucson, reveals how federal agents are terrorizing U.S. citizens and migrants in detention. In Oklahoma, Absentee Shawnee are now being harassed and detained by ICE agents.
"Peter Yazzie, #Dine', was on his way to work in Peoria, in the Phoenix Valley, at 4 a.m., on Monday, when ICE grabbed him, ignoring his tribal ID and the fact that he is a U.S. citizen, reports Arlyssa D. Becenti, at the Arizona Republic.
"Peter Yazzie told ICE agents where they could locate his Certificate of Indian Blood, birth certificate and other documents proving that he was both a #USCitizen and #NativeAmerican. It made no difference. They aggressively placed him in the back of their vehicle and drove away early the morning of Monday, Jan. 12.'
"Yazzie was unaware that ICE was expanding operations throughout Phoenix and surrounding cities. Parked at a QT gas station between Peoria and Sun City near his job site, his morning began as usual, waking at 4 a.m. for his 5 a.m. shift."

excerpt:
#Punkrock’s rebellious anger aimed at the forces of #economic and #political #oppression and its #lofi, #DIY aesthetic are among the reasons the genre took hold with some #Indigenous musicians. It’s a connection that continues to resonate with both players and audiences. Kristen Martinez (#Yaqui and #Mexican) is both a #punk performer and a graduate student researching the #history of the Indigenous contributions to the legacy of punk, one short, loud, and angry song at a time. -
'The Death Trap' Dangerous Jet #CombatTraining Dramatically Increases Over #TohonoOodham Nation
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Oct. 17, 2024
SELLS, Arizona -- "The #USMilitary has dramatically increased its dangerous jet combat fighting over the heart of the Tohono O'odham Nation, with combat jets, a private #corporation and a plane labeled as "the death trap," due to safety violations.
"Tohono O'odham who live below say the #SonicBlasts are breaking the plaster in their traditional homes. Dangerous flares endanger all life below, including the #EndangeredSpecies of #SonoranPronghorn and more. With the risk of deadly crashes, Tohono O'odham are at risk below, including those in the community of #Pisinemo this week.
"The U.S. Air Force now plans to expand its dangerous use of the #airspace over Tohono O'odham, #Apache and #Yaqui communities in #Arizona. #SacredPlaces including #BaboquivariPeak on the Tohono O'odham Nation are among those at risk.
"The enormous #Goldwater#ange -- 1.9 million acres in the #SonoranDesert west of the Tohono O'odham Nation -- was set aside for U.S. military training, yet the military is consistently using Tohono O'odham Nation airspace.
The #USAirForce wants to authorize more #supersonic blasts training at lower altitudes. The dangerous expansion includes airspace over #NativeAmericanNations, and scenic regions of Arizona and western #NewMexico."Read more:

In other news... WTF!
Dangerous Low Flying Jets Target More #Tohono #Oodham, #Apache and #Yaqui Communities
via #CensoredNews, Oct 5, 2024
Wild Earth Guardians:
"The Threat: The U.S. Air Force is proposing low-level fighter jet maneuvers and supersonic flights over White Mountains, Organ Pipe Cactus National Park, and more. It will affect the Tohono O’odham Nation, #WhiteMountain and #SanCarlosApache Nations, and #PascuaYaqui Tribe.
Wilderness and Sacred Places at Risk
The Wilderness areas at risk include the Gila and Blue Range Wildernesses in New Mexico, plus the following Wildernesses in Arizona: Superstition, Salt River Canyon, White Canyon, Needles Eye, Aravaipa Canyon, Galiuro, Santa Teresa, Fishhooks, Bear Wallow, Escudilla, Mount Baldy, Chiracahua, Arrastra Mountains, Tres Alamos, Rawhide Mountains, Harcuvar Mountains, Swansea, East Cactus Plain, Harquahala Mountains, Aubrey Peak, Upper Burro Creek, Hummingbird Springs, Organ Pipe Cactus, Cabeza Prieta, Coyote Mountains, Big Horn Mountains, Baboquivari Peak, and Pajarita Wildernesses. In addition to these 30 designated Wildernesses, this proposal also threatens the Blue Range Primitive Area as well as many Wilderness Study Areas.
Eighteen of these Wildernesses were designated by the 1990 Arizona Desert Wilderness Act, which unfortunately contained a bad special provision that allows military overflights. But that doesn’t mean the proposed action won’t damage those Wildernesses, nor does that 1990 law give the Air Force a free pass to damage the other Wildernesses.
"The Air Force wants to make changes to 10 #MilitaryOperationAreas (#MOAs) to enhance its airspace training capabilities. Specifically, the Air Force wants to lower the altitudes of existing MOAs to support low-altitude training (in some cases, as low as 500 feet above the ground, and in one case, The U.S. Air Force has released a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that proposes a massive increase in low-level jet training flights in more than 1.2 million acres of designated Wilderness in Arizona and New Mexico. Such activity would shatter the area’s natural sounds, ruin the wilderness experience for visitors, and stress native wildlife.
"Your help is needed by October 9 to tell the Air Force to keep low-altitude jets, sonic booms, and supersonic flights out of these Wildernesses (link below).
"The Air Force also wants to authorize supersonic training at lower altitudes in more MOAs, lower the minimum release altitude for flares, and authorize use of chaff bundles containing up to 5 million #aluminum-coated silica fibers, which are used to obscure radar, and are designed to stay airborne as long as possible before they settle to the ground."

"From Prisoner to Political Pawn: Fidencio Aldama's Ongoing Struggle and the Mirage of Freedom" by taller ahuehuete
"On July 14, Fidencio was finally released from prison, presumably establishing that his freedom was absolute and that he had been declared innocent of the charges. However, on July 20, he received a notification from a sentencing enforcement court informing him that he was, in fact, still confined in a form of semi-liberty. This status requires him to return to prison every evening at 8 PM and compels him to spend the night in jail, only allowed to leave again at 8 AM the following day. This Sisyphean cycle –– scheduled to persist for the next seven years and three months — demonstrates how the remaining sentence (his original 14-year term) was not eliminated but prevails in a different form."

Important update regarding Fidencio Aldama's "freedom":
Fidencio was given a ruling of semi-freedom. So long as Fidencio has to set foot in a prison, he is not free and remains a political prisoner and a hostage of the state.
Semi-freedom means that Fidencio must report to prison every night at 8pm, where he will be held until 8am the next morning. That he must go to work, then to school, and then return to prison, for the next seven years and three months, the time he has left in his 14-year sentence.

Actualización importante sobre la "libertad" de Fidencio Aldama: Fidencio recibió una resolución de semilibertad. Mientras Fidencio tenga que pisar una cárcel, no está libre y sigue siendo un preso político y un rehén del Estado.
La figura de la semilibertad implica que Fidencio acuda todos los días a las ocho de la noche al Centro Penitenciario y se interne, para que salga al otro día a las ocho de la mañana, se vaya a trabajar, posteriormente a la escuela a estudiar y después ingrese nuevamente a la prisión, durante 7 años y tres meses, tiempo que le resta por cumplir de una pena de 14 años a la que fue sentenciado.

"Where There is Water There is Growth: Yoeme Land and Water Rights" by Thalia Gomez Quintana
"The Aqueduct of Independence and settler desires of natural resource extraction in the Yaqui reserve demonstrate forms of settler colonization working in unison formulate the displacement and death of Yaqui community members and opens up the Yaqui homeland for settlement. For over ten years now the homeland has seen a rise in stillbirths, sterilization, pesticides in mothers’ milk, forced migrations, skin diseases, stomach ailments and cancer."

Message from Yaqui political prisoner Fidencio Aldama to the national assembly of the National Indigenous Congress:
"I carry in my blood, flesh, and skin this grand history of the Yaqui nation, which has for centuries struggled against extermination, violence, and territorial dispossession."
"This future will be governed by the following ideals: to serve and not be served, to build and not destroy. And, as I have always said: I do not attack, but rather defend what is ours, what our ancestors have left us."
