SELLS, Tohono O'odham Nation -- The U.S. Border Patrol is preventing Tohono O'odham Nation's tribal police from entering their own land to issue citations to border wall construction crews.
The crews are violating the 'No Trespass' order to build the border wall. Drilling is underway,
The media is incorrectly reporting that a federal judge ruled that the border wall is being built on federal land. Federal Judge Richard Leon actually said that this is "likely" federal land.
The US government claims it is part of the 'Roosevelt Reservation,' a 60-foot-wide stretch along the border created by presidential proclamation in 1907.
This matter remains before the federal court.
The Tohono O'odham Nation said it has been O'odham land since time immemorial and is now officially the Tohono O'odham Nation's land.
