Tohono O'Odham Nation says no to Trump wall

[JakeStarkey]

And many sovereign First Peoples nations have the law on their side to say no to the Wall.

AZ Indian Tribe That Controls 75 Miles of Border Won’t Allow TRUMP WALL on their Land (VIDEO)

Tribal leadership of Tohono O’odham Nation in southern Arizona said they won’t support a border wall project on their land. Part of their reservation extends into Mexico and covers 75 miles of the international border.

The tribe’s chairman and vice chair said the plan was always to try to work with whoever holds the office of the United States President. But, they added, it’s still too early to tell exactly how Donald Trump’s administration will impact the tribe.

Vice Chairman Verlon Jose explained tribal members have traversed their ancestral land since time immemorial, and a wall of any sort would not be supported by the community.

“Over my dead body will a wall be built,” Jose said, describing some community members’ sentiments. “I don’t wish to die but I do wish to work together with people so we can truly protect the homeland of this place they call the United States of America. Not only for our people but for the American people.”

Good thing that hard leftists LOVE eminent domain. Raw government power!

Karma is coming for you at lighting speed!

You, as usual, have no idea what you are talking about. Nothing new there.

The feds can't eminent domain an Indian nation's land. You can show us in the treaty, which governs the relations of the two, where the feds can do that. Hint: the feds can't.

Well, they can become part of Mexico then.

Regardless, it won't be an issue. Only an idiot would even bring it up.

The tribe leader is not an idiot, Norman, but you are for thinking Trump can run over treaties. He can't.

I don't know. I read that he hung a picture of Andrew Jackson in his office.

Bannon probably told him to do that, and Trump did without knowing a thing about AJ.

But you are right, he would like AJ's style.

The federal courts probably will keep that type of thing pretty tight.

But we will see.

The Tohono O’odham Nation has their own police, fire, courts, and laws. They can deny law enforcement from other entities the authority to act officially on their land. The cooperate voluntarily with Border Patrol, but that has never been tested in court, to my knowledge. The Pima County Sheriff has no authority on the reservation. Traditionally, they cooperate with federal law enforcement authorities, but, again, they have never tested the limit to that cooperation, to my knowledge. The reservation has few paved roads, and most of their land is not accessible by motor vehicles, and I am sure that they are not going to allow that to change.
