Bulldozers preparing an expansion of the U.S. border wall with Mexico caused extensive damage to the Las Playas intaglio 280-by-50-foot etching in the Sonoran Desert.
The intaglio, a site sacred to the Indigenous Oʼodham peoples of the Sonora, is estimated to be at least 1,000 years old. www.democracynow.org/2026/5/8/border_wall_az
