特朗普政府已在亚利桑那州南部沿Tohono O'odham部落保留地启动边境墙建设项目 1。作为460亿美元边境墙计划的一部分，该工程旨在建造30英尺（9米）高的钢柱墙、车辆屏障和技术设备 1。周二清晨，约20名美国海关与边境保护局官员与承包商进入部落土地开始施工，无人机视频显示现场约有14辆车和一台工业钻机 1。美国海关与边境保护局称该区域是危险的走私通道，建墙将填补长期安全漏洞 1。海关与边境保护局局长Rodney Scott表示，该项目将关闭西南边境最危险的走私和贩运通道之一 1。
Tohono O'odham部落对该项目表示强烈反对，指控政府非法侵入并破坏其圣地 1。该部落拥有37000名成员，其中数千人居住在墨西哥 1。联邦法官Richard Leon此前裁定政府可在60英尺（18米）宽的Roosevelt Reservation联邦土地缓冲区内施工，但部落方面认为进入保留地仍属非法侵入，正考虑进一步法律行动 1。此外，SLSCO Ltd.自2023年以来已从国土安全部获得超过3.9亿美元资金用于建造该段边境墙 1。
The Trump administration has commenced construction on a border wall project along the Tohono O'odham Nation reservation in southern Arizona, despite strong objections from the tribe 1. On Tuesday morning, approximately 20 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials and contractors entered the tribal lands to begin the work 1. Drone footage of the site revealed around 14 vehicles and an industrial drill 1. The construction is part of a $46 billion border wall initiative designed to erect 30-foot-tall (9-meter) steel bollard walls, vehicle barriers, and technological equipment 1.
CBP officials argue that the area is a dangerous smuggling corridor and that the wall will fill a long-standing security gap 1. CBP Director Rodney Scott stated that the project will shut down one of the most dangerous smuggling and trafficking corridors on the southwest border 1. However, the Tohono O'odham Nation, which has 37,000 members with several thousand residing in Mexico, condemns the construction as an illegal trespass and destruction of sacred sites, and is considering further legal action 1. Although federal Judge Richard Leon previously ruled that the government could build within the 60-foot-wide (18-meter) Roosevelt Reservation federal land buffer zone, the tribe maintains that entering the reservation itself remains illegal 1. Meanwhile, SLSCO Ltd. has received over $390 million from the Department of Homeland Security since 2023 to build this section of the border wall 1.
