Judge Upholds Border Wall Construction on Tohono O’odham Nation Land

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled against the Tohono O’odham Nation's request to block border wall construction, emphasizing national security concerns.
The judge referenced a 1907 federal proclamation allowing federal use of land within 60 feet of the border, impacting the tribe's 62-mile border area.
The Tohono O’odham Nation has expressed opposition, erecting 'no trespassing' signs in response to federal activities related to the wall.
