Despite of the presence of some “token” Native Americans in
Trump rallies, is President Trump actively desecrating ancient Native American
burial sites during the construction of his border wall?

Since the start of February 2020, red lettered blasting warning
signs began to prop up around Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, a remote
desert region in southwestern Arizona bordered by Mexico to the south and a
Native American reservation to the east. Construction crews have been blasting
the hillside while excavators and backhoes clear a path for the towering
sections of the so-called Trump border wall fast-tracked by the Trump
administration at a pace that worries environmental groups and Native American
tribes that sacred burial sites and ancestral lands are now at risk of being irreversibly
harmed.
Since 1976, the 516 square mile park – home to more than two
dozen unique species of cactus and countless varieties of wildlife – has been
recognized as a UNESCO ecological preserve worth conserving. Does the Trump
Administration’s wanton environmental destruction and racism know no bounds?
