	"description": "Photo credit: Natalie Newman To advance border wall construction in multiple states, the Trump administration waived dozens of environmental laws such as the Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and National Environmental Policy Act. They bypassed regulations that mandate rigorous environmental reviews and Tribal and community input. Now companies contracting with the Department of Homeland Security have begun bulldozing parts of Big Bend National Park in Texas. And they’re threatening to begin construction in sacred places within Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Arizona (such as A’al Vaipia, a desert oasis that’s the only habitat for three rare species) — as well as on the Tohono O’odham Nation’s reservation land. To prevent the DHS from illegally trespassing on and stealing their reservation land and water to build a segment of border wall, the Tohono O’odham Nation has filed a lawsuit. Tohono O’odham Chairman Jose explained: “We have tried to work with the Department [of Homeland Security] on the border wall issue, but it insists on rushing forward with construction. We have been left with no other choice but to file suit to protect our land, our culture, and our rights.” The planned project will shrink the size of their reservation and damage ancient Indigenous cultural and ceremonial places, as well as fragile desert ecosystems that are home to extremely rare beings. It will also separate the majority of Tohono O’odham people from the 3,000 enrolled Tribal members who live on ancestral lands in Mexico. In Big Bend, the planned wall and related infrastructure will endanger ancient Indigenous archeological sites; cut off access to the Rio Grande; and cut through critical habitat and wildlife corridors for species such as black bears, yellow-billed cuckoos, and jaguars. &amp;nbsp; Click “START WRITING” to send a message directly to your U.S. Representative and Senators, urging them to act now to stop border wall construction on public lands and Tribal reservations.",
