Graveyards may be destroyed. An American tribe prevents the trump administration from building the border wall

A US tribe filed a lawsuit in federal court on Tuesday (11 local time) to prevent the trump government from building part of the border wall because it would destroy the ancient cemetery of the tribe. According to ABC, kumayer is an Indian tribe in California of the United States, whose ancestral land straddles the U.S. – Mexico border. On the 11th, a delegation of Indians from La Posta band filed a lawsuit in San Diego federal court, asking the court to issue an injunction to suspend the construction of the local border wall until the tribe can protect its religious and cultural heritage. It is understood that the kumayers have lived in the area for 12000 years. The tribe said areas affected by the wall included a cemetery near the local town of Jacumba. Historians also pointed out that there are kumaye archaeological sites within the construction scope of the border wall. According to the indictment, the border wall currently under construction by the trump government will cause irreversible damage to the cemetery, cultural relics, history and religious customs of the tribe, and the border blockade will also interrupt religious activities of the tribe. According to the tribe, border officials did not fully consult the tribesmen and were not allowed to protect their own cemeteries and remains excavated for wall building. The Department of homeland security has yet to respond. < / P > < p > at present, young tribal members, including high school students, have been holding protests at the border wall in the hope that officials will pay attention to this issue.
