Raúl Grijalva: “The lands would--what would happen if it didn't materialize into a shooting range?”

This imbalance of power has resulted in over a century of ongoing toxic mines, scarring our landscape and poisoning our communities.

To merely open the floodgates to the use of our public lands without any protections, due process, community involvement... is going back to a time that got us into this situation.

We cannot have meaningful tribal consultations as long as the mining industry has the automatic right to mine wherever they stake a claim.

I would urge Secretary Mayorkas and the Office of Inspector General at the Department of Homeland Security to have these agents investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
