Tribe Fights Border Wall Construction

An Arizona Indigenous nation is fighting against the construction of a border wall. The tribe claims that federal contractors are destroying ancestral sites in adjacent areas. The 62-mile wall is set to pass through the tribe's reservation.

Background

The tribe has long opposed the construction of the border wall. Now, they are taking their case to court. The court must decide whether the tribe has the right to block the construction of the wall.

Implications

If the court rules in favor of the tribe, it could have significant implications for the construction of the border wall. It could also set a precedent for other Indigenous nations fighting against the construction of the wall on their lands.
