Trump’s border wall expansion bulldozes an ancient tribal site
Key Points:
- Construction of the border wall in the Arizona desert has damaged a large Indigenous ground etching resembling a fish, believed to be over 1,000 years old.
- The damage occurred as part of President Donald Trump’s border wall expansion project along the southern border with Mexico.
- The administration is rapidly building hundreds of miles of new barriers in a $46.5 billion initiative known as the One Big Beautiful Bill.
- The project is adding three miles of wall per week and introducing barriers in previously unfortified areas of Texas, as well as additional walls in California, Arizona, and New Mexico.
