"Arizona Tribe Protests Border Patrol's Unprosecuted Fatal Shooting"

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.

Native American family demands answers after fatal Border Patrol shooting

The family of Raymond Mattia, a Native American man killed by Border Patrol agents near the Arizona-Mexico border, is demanding answers about the incident. A relative of Mattia claims he had contacted the Border Patrol earlier in the evening to ask for help with undocumented migrants who had entered his home. However, the official statement from Customs and Border Protection makes no mention of this call. The family has not been interviewed by law enforcement agencies investigating the shooting, and they were not allowed to approach Mattia's body for hours. The incident may further corrode trust between the Border Patrol and the Tohono O’odham Nation.
