DHS Accused of Intimidating Border Tribe With Surveillance and Drones

Original: As Trump’s Wall Closes in, DHS Intimidates a Border Tribe With Surveillance, Masked Agents and Drones

The Department of Homeland Security is facing accusations of intimidating the Tohono O'odham Nation as the Trump administration advances its border wall through their land in Arizona. The tribe, which for decades cooperated with DHS to limit border enforcement, now reports masked agents, drones and heavy surveillance in its community. ProPublica reports the administration is pushing forward with a wall that would divide the nation's territory despite that long-standing cooperation.

Why now: Fresh reporting on the border wall's impact on a Native American nation has renewed debate over federal border enforcement and tribal sovereignty.
