* AJO, Arizona -- As Trump's bulldozers destroy the pristine Sonoran 
Desert at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument nearby, Tohono O'odham and 
Arizona residents are protesting the inhumane destruction.

Ofelia Rivas, Tohono O'odham who lives on the border, told Censored 
News, "Beautiful day in the O'odham homeland, united group of people 
came to be a voice for the lands and  nature against genocidal policies 
of an inhumane government system attacking all life."
"The Society of these stolen lands should legally charge these inhumane 
crimes against this disgraceful person."

"The group will continue to be a voice for the honor of the bees, the 
endangered sacred animals, plants and the entire land and people," Rivas 
said.

All endangered species laws and all laws protecting sacred Native 
American places have been smashed. The border wall construction is 
already using a vast amount of water in the desert here for concrete.

These defenders are also protesting the Israeli spy towers now targeting 
the Tohono O'odham Nation. The Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems 
plans to construct these spy towers and destroy sacred burial places and 
ceremonial places on the Tohono O'odham Nation. The tribal government 
approved these spy towers in March, but Gu-Vo District continues to 
oppose this oppression and destruction. Elbit already carries out 
Apartheid security in Palestine.

Ofelia Rivas is the founder of O'odham Voice against the Wall, and has 
spent her life battling the abuses of the U.S. Border Patrol. Ofelia 
lives on the border on the Tohono O'odham Nation and is a voice for 
human rights.
