#ICE Terrorizing #Navajo, #Yaqui and #Shawnee in #Arizona and #Oklahoma

"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."

'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."
