Arizona’s Tohono O’odham tribe is choosing the opt out of President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard along the border with Mexico.
Tribal officials said last week they wouldn’t allow the Arizona National Guard to be deployed on tribal lands that abut the international border, which accounts for about 73 miles of the border.
During the presidential election of 2016 the tribe also declared that it wouldn’t allow a wall to be built on the border on its reservation.
The tribe operates the Desert Diamond casino in Tucson and the Desert Diamond West Valley Casino in Glendale.
