Indigenous Protesters in AZ Block Border Wall Assembly Site
-----------------------------------------------------------

In Coolidge, Arizona, members of several Indigenous communities
including the Tohono O'odham Nation on Wednesday temporarily blocked
access to a site where 30-foot steel barriers are assembled for use in
the construction of Trump's border wall. 

Protesters: "No border! No wall! No border! No wall!"

The tribal members were nonviolently protesting the ongoing desecration
of sacred sites on ancestral Indigenous land by construction crews
building the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
