Confirmation, but not many details of a an air-to-air UAV system project. While this talks about being launched from airplanes, I've long believed a full system will consist of AWACS-style long duration monitoring platforms combined with a fleet of missile launch patrol vehicles - all loitering at high altitudes, watching over long distances.

The #DOJ filed suit in July, arguing that the barrier violated a #federal #law that prohibits structures in navigable waterways w/o federal approval.
It said the barrier, placed in a section of the river in the border city of #EaglePass, #Texas, endangered #migrants, hampered the operations of the #BorderPatrol & #harmed #diplomatic relations w/ #Mexico.

But… 3 #BorderPatrol agents fatally shot Mr. #Mattia as they came upon him…, hitting him 9 times, acc/to an autopsy. A Border Patrol report says he had tossed a sheathed machete toward an officer & then “abruptly extended his right arm.” His family said he was #unarmed & posed no threat.
His death has touched off an outcry on the #TohonoOodham Nation, which lies along 62 mi of the so border, & stirred up long-running resentments over the federal agency’s presence on #NativeAmericanTerritory.

Killing of #NativeAmerican Man Stirs Anger at #BorderPatrol
#RaymondMattia was shot 9 times by agents late one night outside his home on #TribalLands in AZ.
Border agents, smugglers & migrants were a familiar sight…where the Mattia family had lived for decades. Mr. Mattia often patrolled his property w/a flashlight….That night…,Mr. Mattia told an older sister…that he was heading outside to meet the agents….

#BorderPatrol (#CBP) Is Caging #Migrants Outdoors During Deadly #Arizona #Heatwave
Photos by The Intercept show roughly 50 migrants confined in chain-link pen at #Ajo Border Patrol station with little shade in lethal #desert. Border Patrol station in Ajo can process a few hundred people a day, and on Monday upward of 800 to 1,000 people turned themselves in at the #borderwall. "they would put people out in the parking lot if they have to. I don’t know they had a choice.”

Border patrol treatment of migrants is bad in Texas. It's bad in Arizona too. The humanitarian aid groups mentioned are the ones I work with when I am there during the rest of the year.
No matter what you think about current immigration policy or what it should be, you have to be a monster to think treating human beings this way is OK.
Edit to add: please tag any journalists you know who work on border issues. We would like to get this out far and wide to put pressure on Border Patrol to end this practice before someone dies.
