The Trump administration put Resolution Copper's proposed mine at Oak Flat on a priority list with nine other mining projects, declaring they were vital to the nation's security. A day earlier, the administration announced it would re-issue an environmental impact statement required to finish a land swap that would allow the mine's construction. Tribes and environmentalists say Trump has clearly decided not to wait for court rulings on the project, putting the sacred site in greater jeopardy.

Group homes for troubled teens can serve a purpose, but in the wake of Emily Pike's disappearance and death, many advocates say the system needs reforms. Some Arizona tribes are finding new challenges amid Trump administration budget cuts that reduced available resources. Kids who land in group homes can find themselves with no way to contact friends and no information about how long they will remain there. Advocates say foster families are more important than ever.
