Nogales International

They're amazing.

In fact, I saw the article in the Nogales International where they had several photographs of your work.

And it's exciting because one of those pieces will be at this Celebrating Young Artists event on Thursday.

So if you join us on Thursday, you'll be able to see that one piece.

Pima County supervisors have unanimously approved a proclamation supporting peaceful protests and opposing current border wall construction near Lokeal.

As reported by Graham Crewinghouse of the Nogales International, the action followed an October 5th confrontation in which Border Patrol agents cleared a protest encampment and detained several demonstrators.

Agents also removed a large cottonwood tree that protesters had nicknamed Grandmother, making way for construction of a planned double wall.

Supervisors called for greater transparency, accountability, and respect for constitutional rights, while raising concerns about limited public information and local consultation.

Another major mining project in southern Arizona has cleared an important federal hurdle.

According to reporting from the Nogales International, the U.S. Forest Service has signed the final mine plan of operation for South 32's Hermosa project in the Patagonia Mountains.

The signing ceremony took place September 2nd, following a federal record of decision issued in July.

The approval allows the company to develop supporting infrastructure on Forest Service land, including a primary access road and an additional dry-stack tailing storage facility.
