After Murdering Raymond Mattia, U.S. Border Patrol Stalks and Intimidates Tohono O'odham in Community

Most Censored: US Border Patrol running drugs



The U.S. Border Patrol with surveillance directed at traditional Tohono O'odham homes, near the home of Raymond Mattia ten years ago, before he was murdered by the U.S. Border Patrol.

Ten Years Later

When I talked with Raymond Mattia in 2013, on the border by his home, Ray described how he videotaped U.S. Border Patrol agents escorting the drug cartels across the border with their loads. When he submitted the evidence to authorities, the video disappeared. Raymond was murdered by Border Patrol agents coming out the front door of his home.
