Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents bulldozed a 150-year-old cottonwood tree on Monday. This tree, located in Lochiel, Arizona, had been occupied by activists for over two months. Their goal was to halt the construction of a border wall.
Following this, activists have now taken to occupying a new tree. This swift action indicates their ongoing determination to resist the wall’s construction.
