Abstract: This article situates the US-Mexico border and anti-immigration law in the context of US imperialism and settler colonialism. It centers Tohono O’odham land, presence, and Indigenous sovereignty in an examination of Latin@/x migration, border policies, and im/migrant rights. Contributing to scholarship in critical Latinx indigeneities, this article contends that the structures and mechanisms of border militarization are inherently anti-Indigenous. While targeting migrants and refugees who often are Indigenous elsewhere, this racial profiling happens on Native land and against Native peoples. The article further examines discourses of sanctuary in relation to Indigenous sovereignty to spotlight the necessity of integrating Indigenous perspectives within im/migrant rights discourses.
