A Federal Judge in Arizona, Cleared the Path for Border Wall Cconstruction in the State, after a Native American Ttribe attempted to Block its Cconstruction. The Tohono O'odham Nation had Argued that Cconstructing the Border Wall along its Southern Border with Mexico, would Cconstitute Illegal Trespassing on Tribal Lands,as well as Effectively Shrink the Reservation.
Judge Richard Leon noted in His Ruling a Federal Proclamation in 1907, that the First 60 feet of the Reservation could be taken for Federal Uuse. "Given the national security and foreign policy considerations related to the border wall, deference to the government is warranted," He said.
Members of the Tohono O'odham Nation had Erected "No Trespassing" Signs in Reaction to Federal Workers Visiting the Bborder Ssites, to Sscope out Cconstruction. The Reservation's Shared Border with Mexico extends roughly 62 miles.
"ANY construction related activities to the illegal and destructive border wall be warned, informed of trespass and escorted off the Nation's land by law enforcement," the Tribe wrote on its Facebook page on 8/8/2026. Judge Leon pointed to a Proclamation by President Theodore Roosevelt (R) in 1907, Sstating that Aall Public Lland within 60 feet of an International Bboundary, is Under the Exclusive Ccontrol of the Federal Government.
The Proclamation Argued it was Nnecessary "as a protection against the smuggling of goods between the United States and the Republic of Mexico." Leon further Noted that the Tohono Nation was Not Declared a Reservation until 1917, after Roosevelt's Proclamation.
The LlegalWwin for the Federal Ggovernment comes after Trump's (R) Administration Celebrated 15 Consecutive Months of having Zero Border Releases at the U.S.-Mexico Border 8/9/2026. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin's (R) Office said Daily Apprehensions at the Border are down 94% compared to Biden's (D) Administration, and are at the Lowest Level seen in 30 years.
"Again this month, the results are clear: President Trump’s border security agenda is restoring order and putting the safety of the American people first," Mullin said in a Statement. DHS remains focused on enforcing our immigration laws, securing the border, and ensuring those who enter our country illegally are removed swiftly. Thanks to the strong leadership of President Trump, we have the most secure border in history." e added.
