RAPID CITY, South Dakota -- In a city long known for its racism, the U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit today against the owners and operators of the Grand Gateway Hotel and Cheers Sports Lounge and Casino for banning Native Americans.

The Justice Department alleges the hotel owners violated the civil rights of Native Americans with acts of racial discrimination. On at least two occasions in March, Connie Uhre and her son Nicholas Uhre committed racial discrimination by turning away Native Americans who sought to book a room at the Grand Gateway Hotel.

Sunny Red Bear, racial equity director at NDN Collective, said, "The Uhres must be held accountable, reminded that they are on Lakota land, and understand that the tragedy of death cannot be met with racist outbursts."

TUCSON, Arizona — The Center for Biological Diversity today filed a notice of intent to sue Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey’s administration to challenge plans to obstruct a critical jaguar and ocelot migration corridor with shipping containers along the U.S.-Mexico border.

“These shipping containers are a shameless publicity stunt that will jeopardize the survival of endangered wildlife,” said Robin Silver, a co-founder of the Center. “There are 3,700 agents covering the Tucson Sector alone, not to mention helicopters, drones and hundreds of cameras. We’re in an extinction crisis, and it’s reckless to sacrifice a critical wildlife corridor and harm endangered animals so Ducey can score political points.”

Mexico's Ministry of Defense spied on the Zapatistas' Journey for Life through Europe, hacktivists reveal. Mexico's military contacted governments in Belgium, Spain, Luxembourg, Austria, and Italy as Mexico stalked the Zapatistas.

However, Mexico's Ministry of Defense was apparently primarily concerned with its own image, and the president's image. Mexico's Embassy in Switzerland engaged in the spying. Besides being concerned with its image, Mexico was focused on whether the Zapatistas would oppose the Mayan Tren, the train being built through the Yucatan, which they do oppose, and details of the missing and murdered 43 students in Guerrero.

The massive leak was by hacktivists Guacamaya.
