Members of the Tohono O'odham Nation are planning more protests at the U.S.-Mexico border to draw attention to a proposed waste dump near a sacred site.

About 1,000 tribal members tied up traffic on the border on Sunday. They say they won't stop until the project near Quitovac, a sacred site in Mexico, is dead.

Tribal activists are pressuring the Mexican and U.S. governments to act. The dump would accept up to 45,000 tons of industrial waste every year.
