The Last Remaining Grandmother Cottonwood Cut Down Just Now after Violent Arrests at NO Border Wall Tree Sit in Lochiel
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Oct. 5, 2026
Laiken Jordahl said, "Just horrible footage of DHS contractors toppling the last of four ancient cottonwoods to build double border walls across the San Rafael Valley.The wall cuts through the key remaining wildlife corridor for endangered jaguars between Arizona and Sonora, where human border crossings are seldom seen."
"A protest camp had occupied and protected this tree for more than 60 days, halting construction. The camp was raided and campers were arrested this morning."
"This wall will effectively lock the remaining jaguars in the U.S. into solitary confinement, while permanently marring one of the last remaining wild places along the Arizona border."

Screams can be heard as a woman is attacked and thrown to the ground in a violent raid on the Lochiel tree sit at the border, east of Nogales, Arizona.
"You're stepping on her!"
"There's barbed wire there!"
'Come now! US BP illegal and violently invaded camp. Multiple violent arrests. Camp standing strong against genocide and tyranny," was the alert from Tierra Libre, No Borders this morning.

| Women, including O'odham women, joined land defenders and halted border wall construction here for more than two months. |
O'odham Women who have joined the land defenders at the Arizona border report this morning, "Mass arrests are being made at the aupa thadiwa (cottonwood camp) in Lochiel, Arizona, where folks have been camped protecting 200+ year old cottonwoods that live on the so-called border. They’re attempting to arrest the tree sitters and cut down the last remaining grandmothers. Pray for them. Go help if you can."
