Margo Tamez sends out this urgent call for help, as Homeland Security, National Guard and Border Patrol attempt to seize the lands of the Lipan Apache in Texas for the border wall.
The harassment and intimidation of women, children and elderly comes as the Indigenous Peoples' Border Summit of the Americas concluded on Tohono O'odham land in Arizona.
On O'odham land, the border wall has already resulted in the ancestors of the Tohono O'odham being dug up. Further, the border wall on O'odham land will be a physical barrier to the ceremonies.
All federal laws have been rendered powerless by Homeland Security using the Read ID Act, including federal laws protecting Indian remains and repatriation. Further the laws protecting endangered species, including the Sonoran Pronghorn, jaguar and others along the Arizona border have been voided.
As all federal laws are dismantled, private prison corporations are seizing the profits from imprisoning migrants, including the imprisonment of infants and children at the T. Don Hutto Detention Center near Austin.
A delegation of Mohawks urged Indigenous Peoples to rise up and tear down the border wall and halt the arrests and deaths of their fellow Indigenous brothers and sisters being displaced by so-called free trade agreements, paramilitaries and brutal land seizures in the south.
As the Lipan Apaches' call goes out across the Americas, many are rising up, ready to resist the tyranny.
