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.</p>
<p>
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."<br>
"The Society of these stolen lands should legally charge these
inhumane crimes against this disgraceful person."</p>
<p>
"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.</p>
<p>
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.</p>
<p>
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.</p>
<p>
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.<br>
