Justice Department Refuses to Prosecute US Border Patrol Agents Who Murdered Raymond Mattia

In a devastating cover-up, and denial of justice, the federal prosecutors in Arizona said they will not prosecute the Tohono O'odham police and US Border Patrol agents who murdered Raymond Mattia, Tohono O'odham, on the front steps of his home. Raymond was shot nine times in a hail of bullets. Earlier, Raymond had videotaped the local US Border Patrol agents running drugs through his community. When he submitted the evidence to authorities, the video evidence disappeared. The Intercept reports today on the refusal by the US Attorney's Office in Arizona to carry out justice. -- Censored News.

Journalism Takes a Hit -- While a New Brand of Carpetbaggers Emerge


The Intercept: Standing Rock series

Journalism Takes a Hit, While a New Brand of Carpetbaggers Emerge

Journalism took a hit this week.

Alleen Brown, who did the extremely difficult and precise work of exposing TigerSwan and more at Standing Rock, was laid off by The Intercept this week.

It takes a great deal of courage, perseverance, and knowledge to do this type of reporting.

Equally troubling is the fact that Energy Transfer, owner of the Dakota Access Pipeline, is fighting The Intercept in court to halt the release of 16,000 TigerSwan documents that North Dakota already has.
