TL;DR Summary

The Tohono O'odham Nation in Arizona criticized the decision by the U.S. Attorney's Office not to prosecute Border Patrol agents who shot and killed a member of the tribe. Body camera footage showed that the agents were concerned the 58-year-old man may have been armed, but no firearm was found. The tribe called the decision a "travesty of justice" and may seek Congressional inquiries into the incident. The U.S. Attorney's Office stated that the agents' use of force did not constitute a federal criminal civil rights violation or a criminal violation under Arizona law. The Tohono O'odham Nation is protesting the decision and demanding answers.
