Apaches Rise to Defend Homelands from Homeland Security
 |
Center for International Policy's Americas Program Homeland Security is building a wall along the Mexican border to protect us from illegal immigrants. But who's going to protect landowners from Homeland Security? And what are we protecting if our land and homes aren't safe from eminent domain? |
Many landowners, as well as civic leaders and human rights activists, oppose the U.S. government's plans to allow federal law enforcement agents access to private property. The government's demands and aggressive tactics are in conflict with settled rights of private property ownership and are particularly disconcerting to the indigenous peoples' communities impacted by this undertaking.
