T Officials of the Tohono O’odham tribe issued an update in the ongoing battle to stop the Trump administration from starting a 62-mile border infrastructure project within the narrow Roosevelt Easement between the southern boundary of the tribe's reservation and the U.S. Mexico border.
The tribe alleges armed, masked Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents escorted border wall construction contractors through the reservation on Tuesday in violation of Tohono O’odham laws.
AI is very careful about not mentioning the golden money pot of a casino run by the tribe since it would take away from their main goal of left winging most issues. Needless to say when you follow the money it leads to the tribes casino,without that they would be a footnote in history.
Bottom line the area that is being fenced off is a loaded with smugglers crossing the border with Mexico doing what they do,drugs, arms, human you name it and likely the "tribe" benefits from a smugglers fee as well when you once again follow the money.
The tribe all but has to be into helping the cartels smuggle across their border since they apparently watch anything and everything that crosses the two countries.They claim they have land and tribal rights in both countries.
Quite the con!
