NEW: Tohono O'odham Nation leadership issued a release announcing that they’ve filed an emergency injunction after been informed by CBP that “it intends to remove thousands of Saguaros and other vegetation,” on sovereign tribal lands. The destruction is set to begin on Indigenous Peoples Day.

TOHONO O'ODHAM NATION OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN AND VICE CHAIRWOMAN Verlon M. Jose CHAIRMAN Carla L. Johnson VICE CHAIRWOMAN Public Service Announcement FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, Oct. 9, 2026 BORDER WALL CONTRACTORS TO START REMOVING SACRED SAGUAROS ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 12 Nation Files Emergency Injunction with the Circuit Court of Appeals SELLS, Ariz. - The Tohono O'odham Nation has been informed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that it intends to remove thousands of Saguaros and other vegetation in its misguided efforts to construct a border wall. On Monday, Oct. 12, federal contractors will begin ripping out these protected plants that have lived in the Sonoran Desert for thousands of years. The fact that this desecration will take place on Indigenous Peoples' Day is disrespectful to all tribal nations. In addition, earlier this week the Tohono O'odham Nation filed an emergency injunction with the Washington, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to stop DHS from removing thousands of sacred saguaros on Tohono O'odham land. Nation leadership is demanding that the courts put a stop to this lawless behavior that has already caused irreparable damage to our environment and cultural heritage, all in the name of constructing a costly and ineffective border wall. Known as ha:sañ, saguaros are symbols of the Tohono O'odham shared faith, serving as spiritual monuments to customs and values. The removal of any saguaro is an act of atrocity, as they are considered people by the Tohono O'odham."Trespassing on our land to remove the sacred saguaros is like having masked men break into your house and take away your children," said Tohono O'odham Nation Chairman Verlon Jose. "The ha:șañ are our family, as much a part of us as any blood relative. To destroy them by the thousands carves a wound in our hearts that will not heal. We call on all people for solidarity as we work to protect our culture and our land from this useless, destructive wall." The mighty saguaro not only stands as an O'odham and American icon, it is also a critical part of our ecosystem, providing shelter, sustenance, and deep cultural significance. The saguaro, in Tohono O'odham custom, is akin to a person and any malicious action against one is as if harm is being done to our people. This belief is memorialized in Resolution 21-137 by the Tohono O'odham Legislative Council. "This is a violation of our sovereignty, of our religious liberty, and of our land," said Chairman Jose. "The Nation will continue to fight to prevent this senseless devastation from going forward and we are grateful for the overwhelming community support we have received." ### P.O.

NEW: The head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement firmly condemning plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan.

Archbishop Paul Coakley calls the decision “a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered.” www.usccb.org/news/2026/us...

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops READINGS WASHINGTON - Yesterday, the U.S. Department of War announced that the firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the man convicted of killing 13 people and injuring 32 at Fort Hood, Texas in 2009, would be publicly livestreamed. Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued the following statement sharply condemning the decision of the U.S. government: "It is with shock and great sorrow that I have learned of the Department of War's decision to publicly livestream the execution of Nidal Hassan. Our God is the God of life. In no way can Hassan's actions be condoned but this decision is a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered. The word of God exhorts us: 'do not repay anyone evil for evil' (Romans 12:17). The public execution even of one who has done grave harm will only further undermine the moral fabric of our nation and be a blight on the conscience of its people.United States Conference of Catholic Bishops READINGS "It is with shock and great sorrow that I have learned of the Department of War's decision to publicly livestream the execution of Nidal Hassan.

“You hear that alarm?” the detainee asked the Mirror as an alarm started blaring during a phone interview. “Thats a fire alarm that goes off, I’m telling you, every day.”

ICE and CoreCivic say no alarms are going off.

“No warrants are shown, as far as we can tell there’s no legal ground for them to come onto private property. It seems like they’re pushing through the construction process quickly and will deal with the law later,” said Rachel, a land defender who spoke with UR about the raids.

Don't know if I'd call it that and I'm not sure about what exactly is on these aircraft and the balloons.

WAAS (Wide area airborne surveillance) can play back recordings and was found to be unconstitutional when used by local police in Baltimore.

The gif in the story comes from a presentation on the Zephyr from a few years ago. I'd imagine the true image quality is much higher and has expanded with AI.

The Yuma Proving Ground and Barry Goldwater range are often used for NATO nation training. I've seen lots of foreign drones down in those areas. Also an area where contractors can do testing. These two are flying outside of those regions and one I've been tracking for a month now flying the border
