NOW! Border Wall Construction Crews on Tohono O'odham Border
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, August 26, 2026
SELLS, TOHONO O'odham Nation -- The Tohono O'odham Nation said late Tuesday that twenty masked and armed federal agents from Tucson entered their sovereign tribal land accompanying border wall construction crews at 4 am on Tuesday, in violation of tribal sovereignty.
The U.S. Border Patrol has police in Mexico on standby on the south side of the border, ready to deploy to assist the U.S. government to protect construction crews, the tribe said.
The U.S. plans to build a double wall with a service road, and heavy equipment staging area on tribal land, without consent, the documents state in the recent federal court case. A federal judge ruled against the tribe, and denied an injunction to stop the building of the walls.
Tadai Me:I reports from the prayer camp, with photos, that construction crews and a drilling rig arrived at the tribe's border today, Wednesday, at 7 am.
S-ke:g Si’alig!
Reporting from Ko:li Ki:jig, early this morning border contractors and drilling equipment arrived on the Nation’s border.
O’odham at the prayer camp are sharing these photos of CBP surveillance, road blocks and equipment nearby.
We call on O’odham to come down and support the protection of the fire, hold the line and observe what is taking place. We could also use firewood and sugai.
No matter what happens, we’ll see it through for us to tell our story.
There are hundreds of thousands of reasons to protect our ancestors buried along their path, and the sacred and historical sites that mark our existence as O’odham in these lands we call home.
Please share and spread the word! S-ap’e!
