Drones stalk sacred songs  
A wall looms on tribal land  
Still the embers glow

	author:	Ryan Devereaux	institution:	ProPublica	¿porque no los dos?
	tl;dr	The article reports that DHS deployed masked agents, drones and other surveillance around the Tohono O’odham Nation while advancing a planned 62-mile border wall. Tribal leaders say construction threatens sovereignty, sacred sites and cross-border family ties, and contradicts federal promises of consultation. The reporting draws on interviews, court filings, recordings and tribal observation logs. Federal officials defend the project as legally authorized and necessary for border security; the tribe disputes that rationale, citing sharply declining crossings. A judge denied a preliminary injunction while expecting continued cooperation.
	deeper:	The article emphasizes Indigenous sovereignty, cultural preservation and civil liberties, giving it a center-left orientation. Its headline declares intimidation, and phrases such as “cast off any pretense” blur reporting with judgment. Nevertheless, it presents substantial documentary and eyewitness sourcing, explains competing legal arguments, quotes federal security justifications and discloses unanswered questions. Tribal perspectives dominate, and some broad claims receive less substantiation. These scores assess the supplied text’s reporting and framing; the screenshots alone cannot authenticate its underlying evidence.
