 AP reports, "A U.S. appeals court will consider challenges Tuesday to a huge lithium mine in Nevada in a case that pits environmentalists and Native Americans against President Joe Biden’s plans to combat climate change and could have broad implications for mining operations across the West.

"For the first time since it blocked construction of an Arizona copper mine last year, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was scheduled to hear oral arguments in a two-year-old legal battle with striking similarities to the Arizona case. The Nevada mine is in the works near the Oregon line and would involve extraction of the silvery-white metal used in electric-vehicle batteries.

Lawyers for Lithium Americas — the Canadian company that broke ground on the project in March — as well as the U.S. government, conservationists, tribes and a Nevada rancher were allotted time to highlight their positions during Tuesday’s hearing before a three-judge panel in Pasadena, California."

The Intercept -- Border Patrol Video of Killing Shows Native Man Had No Gun. Complied With Orders

The Intercept reports that Raymond Mattia, Tohono O'odham, complied with officers, who fired as many as 38 rounds at him as he came out of his front door to talk to them.

The Border Patrol agents were cursing at Raymond as they murdered him. There were 10 officers' bodycam recordings -- but only one officer's edited footage was released to the family and public. The officers present at the crime scene were both U.S. Border Patrol agents, and Tohono O'odham Nation police. -- Censored News.

The autopsy report states that Raymond Mattia, Tohono O'odham, was the victim of homicide when shot nine times by three U.S. Border Patrol agents.

Ten years ago, Raymond told Censored News that he had videotaped local U.S. Border Patrol agents escorting drug cartels across the border with their drug loads. Raymond said after he submitted the evidence -- it disappeared.

U.S. Border Patrol agents committed murder.

During the years that followed, Raymond, who lived a short walk from the border, struggled to expose the U.S. Border Patrol running drugs through his community on the western side of the Tohono O'odham Nation.

On June 23, 2023, Justice Kavanaugh delivered the opinion of the Court: “In 1848, the United States won the Mexican-American War and acquired vast new territory from Mexico in what would become the American West. The Navajos lived within a discrete portion of that expansive and newly American territory.”

This was Justice Kavanaugh’s opening statement so I would first like to ask him, ”What does Mexico have to do with the Navajos who have lived on this land for thousands of years?” You can’t get land title from someone who does not own it.
