Trump’s wall has expanded across Organ Pipe Cactus Nat. Monument quickly in recent months. It’s closing in on sacred Quitobaquito Spring. Yesterday, O’odham activists, elders & others circled the spring for songs & prayers and promises to protect this sacred site.
The water level is extremely low at Quitobaquito Spring. Construction crews are pumping millions of gallons of precious desert water onsite for construction of Trump’s border wall. Compounded by drought, things feel very dire. Songs for monsoon rains were sung.
To the east of Quitobaquito Trump’s wall moves ever closer, within a half mile now. Giant light poles have been erected to erase the night in the middle of this international biosphere reserve. These lights will blast sacred Quitobaquito all night long if/when they arrive.

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act)

The National Historic Preservation Act

Yesterday I went out to the headwaters of the Yaqui River, to the San Bernardino National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Arizona to check on border wall construction & wildlife corridors & jaguar critical habitat. I was shocked to see the entire valley is almost walled off. /1
The wall is heading straight for Guadalupe Canyon seen here. This canyon connects the Peloncillos in Arizona to the Sierra Pan Duro and San Luis in northern Mexico which make a straight line to the northern most breeding population further south in Sonora, Mexico. /2
There was so much activity. During the national emergency that is Covid-19 work crews seem to have doubled in size since I last was out there. There so much activity: cranes placing wall, crews welding, cement trucks, water trucks, earth movers raising walls of dust. /3

This is the top of "Monument Hill," a sacred site to multiple tribes, that @DHSgov is dynamiting right now to build the #borderwall. It's part of the historic homeland of the O'odham. Apache are buried here. Trump waived the Native American Graves Protection Act to allow this.
@DHSgov I hiked up Monument Hill several months ago with @LaikenJordahl to get a lay of the land before actual construction had started. From here you see the vast wild UNESCO International Biosphere Reserve that is Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Now it's being destroyed.
