- Reported construction mobilization — tribal trespass allegations disputed
The Tohono O'odham Nation said federal agents and contractors entered at three locations on August 25 without permission, and AP reported that contractors began soil sampling for a border-wall segment. CBP described the corridor as a dangerous smuggling route, while the Nation maintained that accessing the federal Roosevelt Reservation across tribal land was trespass. The earlier court order denied preliminary relief based on the record then before it; it did not adjudicate the later entry allegations.
